When I think of the Layo I started on a couple years ago compared to the V3 world, one thing that stands out is that when I first arrived in Hlint, I didn't have to cross any transitions to find the sewers and also the crypts. As I wandered around clicking on NPCs I was steered toward quests appropriate to first level characters. The first quest you are likely to find out, if you start in Port Hempstead, is the fetch the stick quest from the Kobolds. I don't think that one is meant as a first level quest.
It seems like the first direction a new character in Port Hempstead should go is to the sewers. The rats are a little bit of xp. You can earn a little coin and you can learn how your character works. Unfortunately, it takes a fair bit of exploring to find the sewers (or maybe I was just unlucky in my initial exploring).
I haven't brought a character into Vehl from the eye of the storm, but I suspect you are somewhere close to the crypts when you enter, so that's probably good.
I suggest that one of the NPCs that a new player is likely to click on gives some advice on where a new player might look for work. For instance, the pawn broker my have a dialogue option "tell me about Port Hempstead" where he (she?) mentions in general terms where the sewers are and that the sewer keeper has frequent need for help. I'm not sure how much information you want to give out, but something to steer characters toward areas where their first layo experience will be at least some success seems like a good plan.
