It took me a bit to figure things out but I learn more each time I play. The official forums have helped. You have to be a paying member to post there, but anyone can read it and they have added one area for non-members. Also, another site,
http://fr.zam.com/, has quite a few guides and keeps adding more all the time. No payment required!

Once everyone gets settled and figures out their way around, we'll have to set up some friend meets. You have to be on the same server to see/add friends, though I thought I remember reading something that said they were looking into changing that in the future.
I'm really enjoying this game now that I've played a bit. There's lots of different things for me to do, depending on what I feel like when I sign in. I signed up for the paid membership which gives me even more choices. And they'll be adding more stuff over time. Think this one's a keeper!!
