Welcome to EQ. I will give what I believe the most practical tip to help you learn this game. Asking questions in game would probably be the best when it comes to gameplay. Technical or UI issues should be asked here, like crashing, freezing, things not working.
Type /who or click the Who button in the little actions bar to see what players are in your current 'zone'. You can ask all players in that zone questions, by typing /ooc before your text. /ooc stands for out of character.
that has worked for me in the past. Most people are willing to help. Also, since you are totally new, it may be wise to make a high elf or wood elf character first. their newbie zones are the most populated. There are more people there to answer your questions than any other. Making an Erudite for example, one of the least played races, will not put you in a good place to ask players questions.
At least while asking questions in game, you can ask as you go, as opposed to a forum where a tally/list of questions needs to be made. Good luck out there. EQ is a great experience for those who enjoy it's starkly different challenging world compared to most MMOs.
Also to avoid ruining your first EQ experience, there are some classes to avoid. I would steer away from warrior, ranger at minimum and play magician, necromancer, enchanter, or cleric.
