Just be aware that EQ-classic is a LOT slower progression wise than most MMOs (unless you've been playing hardcore korean MMOs).

Ogre warrior will eventually be a great combination for you, especially if you're looking to end-game. For now a beginning character it could be a bit difficult, but don't let that discourage you. Your best bet will be to get to East Commonlands (this zone is used as the main trading zone, where people go to buy/sell items to other players so is heavily populated with higher levels generally). Try to get a bind in freeport so you don't have to run as far when you die (the spot you go to when you die is called your 'bind' spot, casters and priests can bind non-casters inside city areas at levels 12 and 14 respectively). Then beg buffs&solo till around level 8 (chances are decent someone would be willing to give you a better weapon and maybe some pp to get you started if you ask nicely, but don't beg).

Groups there aren't terribly uncommon for the low levels, I think people will also group in the West Commonlands untill 11-12ish, where you can go to the Oasis of Marr until the mid-late teens. At which point, with Kunark being available, many people will be heading to the Lake of Ill Omen.
