I just did some wandering on Beta and here's what I've found so far:
KOS greenies will attack you even if they're level 30 and you're level 60, because everything on Velious has anger management issues apparently. There are LOTS of wanderers in the spots I went, too.
Snow bunnies are adorable and only level 1 or 2, but they scamper around between tundra kodiaks so good luck getting their meat. The kodiaks look kinda like wombats, while I'm at it.
Only the Coldain won't try to kill you when you first set foot onto the continent. The other two factions, giants and dragons, are threatening at the start. If you're in wolf form, the Coldain will try to kill you because strange wolves are bad.
The wolves are on different factions in some places (most?), but it's easy to tell them apart. The shardwurms are on no one's faction.
There are orcs. The orcs are supposedly allies with the giants, but as usual in EQ, there's nothing you can do to raise faction with the orcs. That's okay, they're ugly anyway.
The ice is really slick in some places. Enjoy the impromptu ice-skating sessions!
Sunsets are fucking beautiful in Eastern Wastes.
Frost Giant Toes drop way less often than Kromrif Heads. SO, you want that burlap prayer shawl, do you? Well, start camping.
