A few newbie questions.....

Alright, First order of business so you don't get lynched: EQ2 was POST GLORY DAYS!

Some general starting tips:
Most people rebind their controls to W A S D like a first person shooter. Use the wiki map to navigate your way out of Oggok.

Use TAB randomly to see if there is something in the water or hidden behind something that you can't really see so it doesn't pop out and attack.

Use the C (consider aka con) key when things are selected to find out if mobs are going to attack you, and if so, if they are going to kill you.

If things con even (black/white) or lower (blue or lightblue), you can probably kill them.

Some mobs have social agro, meaning that while not normally aggressive to you, if you attack them and they have friends around, the friends will assist.
