I have had more success getting people who have never played EQ back into than those who were new to it.

I found the time old tactic of roll a char new and start with them always helps, start up a voice chat and go from there. Agree with the above posters helping them get the game setup and UI configured is a big one and have found assisting them to be the best way to do it.

It took forever to learn what I needed to about the game, but that was half the fun - I try not to spoon feed them too much and let them have fun learning stuff out, sure they will make mistakes (binding at in dalnirs right under goblin spawn, falling asleep while grouped in unrest and deathlooping) - but these are the things you look back on and laugh about.

I just tell them if they are worried just let your groups know that you are new to EQ, most if not all would tell them what it expected and how to get the most out of their class.
