There are two ways to go about this game if you are new/first char on server.
1) Pick a class that can solo well later on and farm well so you can make money to twink alts. In EQ almost all of the top end gear can be given to a level 1 character, vs WoW where it was all soulbound to you.
2) Pick whatever class you want and deal with the outcome =P
I would recommend starting with an enchanter, shaman or necro. Enchanter & Shaman can group easily from level 1-60 as well as solo/duo easily in mid-later levels, necro can solo easily from 1-60. All 3 are solo farming machines at level 60.
That said, I rolled a cleric here and overall it was just fine but you are 100% tied to groups to do anything.
Other than that, there is a lot of good information on the wiki but where you go to level will largely be determined by where people your level are playing. Unless you make groups yourself you will generally be going where others go.
Make friends, group with regular people. This game sucks if your group sucks, exp is slow, you die a lot etc.
