Best advice I can give is to take it very, VERY slow, and be very, VERY aware of your surroundings.
Always be rotating your camera around, looking at everything around you as you go from place to place. Learn to identify things by landmarks, as there is no in game map. Most places have roads/paths, stick to them until you know the lay of the land around you.
The most dangerous thing you'll most likely do its travel from place to place. The worst feeling in the world is dying before you can get a /loc off, and having NO idea where you were. The further away from landmarks/roads you get, the more careful you have to be.
Learning to use /loc is going to be incredibly important. EQ maps are laid out in a coordinate grid with x/y coords. Typing /loc will give you your x/y location, such as "-123.5, 2021.8". You can spam that command as you move to locate specific locations(moving north will increase Y coordinates, south will decrease Y, and west will increase X while east will decrease X coordinate). The maps available online are also laid out on top of the grid, so that you can find where you are by checking your /loc, and then referencing that point on the map,.
