I don't know where to get quests.

Everquest might be the worst-named MMORPG in the history of the genre. Most players only do minor amounts of questing. You locate quests by hailing various NPC's around the game world and responding to their [text] in brackets. It's clunky to say the least. In practice most players find quests by looking it up on the internet, usually on the P1999 wiki.

The majority of quests available at low-level tend to exist mostly for role-play (world lore) or faction purposes, occasionally for experience (gnoll fangs, crushbone belts), and very rarely for useful items. Unlike the majority of newer games, quests can be repeated as often as the user wishes. For example, in Warcraft you might've been sent to collect 10 bear hides. Not 8, not 11--10. Then no more. In EQ, you can take those gnoll fangs and turn them in whether you have 1, 10, 100--whatever.

-----------------------------------

With respect to the original game, take us at our word for it: The original's great, but by itself isn't really adequate to support a large population. Kunark and Velious, while expansions, were both part of the game's original design and ended up as expansions mainly due to budget and time pressures. That's why P1999 decided to stop with Velious--that's where the original "vision" was complete and, afterwards, the genuinely new expansions began.
