There's a lot of specific information about game mechanics on these forums. But if you're wondering what to do next, there's 4 different questing zones once you leave Tortage: Conall's Valley in Cimmeria, Wild Lands of Zelata in Aquilonia, Khopshef Province in Stygia, and Gateway to Khitai in, well, Khitai. Each of these is nice to visit. Personally, I'd just go with the zone corresponding to your toon's race, since all of the zones are nice and this kind of makes the most sense.
But try not to miss:
* Black Castle: the game's first group dungeon, in Khopshef province, at approx level 30-34. There's no group finder tool in AoC, so watch the global and LFG chats for people looking for a group for Black Castle. It used to be difficult to find groups, but low level dungeon activity has picked up somewhat recently (as FC introduced achievements for doing them at the right level).
* Pyramid of the Ancients: the game's longest solo dungeon, also in Khopshef province, at approx level 37. I try to always do this dungeon, first because I like the feeling of the place a lot, and also because, with some luck, you might get your hands on some pretty decent blue weapons.
