I  joined the server in January.  I rolled up a monk.  It took me exactly one day to remember that EverQuest is not a giveaway game where you do whatever you want and come out fine.  There are some very harsh and time-consuming penalties for making poor choices. 
 
A choice you can make is to do "/who all A B", replacing A and B with the level range you're looking for.  Then send some tells and make some friends.  Make a character near them or beg a sow and run your little dude to where the other players are and beg a bind.  Words and phrases like "please" and "thank you" work wonders. 
 
On my second day, I made a druid.  Playing a naked melee in classic EQ as my first character was a more difficult scenario than I wanted to play out.  Mad props to you guys who tough it out.  Nothing but slops for you guys who insist on a hard path and then whine that it's too hard. 
 
If your schedule dictates that you play alone, roll up a solo class.
