I just played EQ for the first time and I'm not really sure what I'm doing. I started as a high elf and took a note, that I spawned with, to an NPC (Kinool Goldsinger). I give him the note and talk to him about what I thought would be a follow up quest, and he's just like 'nvm'. I went round hailing random NPCs, looking for quest or something, with no luck.
Should I just be killing mobs, exploring, and do quests when I happen to find them?

good luck in your endeavors, bro!

I forgot to ask. How do you swim? For me, sometimes W makes me swim up, sometimes spacebar. Half the time I spam them, neither work, and I drown lmao

The scroll wheel zooms in and out from first-person to third-person view. In first-person view, you can adjust the direction that your character is facing vertically. In order to swim up, your character has to be looking up. So, zoom into first-person view, and then mouselook (hold right-click) and look up: you will now swim up and not drown.

The Page-Up and Page-Down keys also control your character's vertical facing, so you can control this without using the mouse if you prefer keys instead. This approach also works while in the third-person view.
