= What kind of behaviour and attitude is expected from you.=

As a person who has yet to "be estabilished" as an "worthy" player, you might need to try harder to get in. Ask around for parties, get friendly with players, and obviously act like an upstanding member of the community:
dont trash talk, dont kill steal, dont steal loots, dont abuse bugs, dont bot and so on.

If and when you are accepted in, be diligent! Do not idle, pay attention and be polite even if you might get some lip (tho in general, the players are polite even if the language might be rough). You might notice other people
to idle in the party, and while this is not nice behaviour, they have already estabihished themselves and this can be tolerated to a degree, but as a new face you might not have this priviledge yet.

Knowing your class is a requirement, and if you can buff other people, do so (unless for some reason said buff is not required at the run, in which case dont. You will be told if this is the case). 
Keep any possible required self buffs on anticipating the end of regen. You will learn in time, but usually leader might say "spell up" a bit before "GOING IN!", which means you gotta buff yourself and others.
Have regening gear, switch to that set when you are at camp being healed/regening, pay attention to leader because often enough, they will just yell something along the lines of "GOING IN!" and maybe wait 2 seconds for people to
switch their gears and then the party goes in.

Asking for any relevant mechanics/triggers (and setting them up) before the party is a big plus, and shows you are willing to learn. In time it is expected that you have relevant triggers to alert yourself/others of debuffs/bombs/
whatevers about, so you/someone else can act accordingly and not get everyone killed.

Sometimes, the kill is not smooth and can take much longer than usual. Leaving mid-kill is frowned upon, unless you mentioned it in the beginning and the leader was ok with it or can get a suitable replacement for yourself. 
Most "basic" eq runs take between 30mins and 2 hours. Some of the top tier stuff can take up to 12hours or so if the party composition is not favourable. Be reasonably prepared timewise for any eq party.
These killtimes are naturally not accurate if the entire party (or most of it) are not geared/experienced.
