Cho´s the newer Server and so everyone´s pretty much on the same level as of now. Arispotle is the older "more experienced" Server with more Highlevel Players. But Cho´ll have it´s share of Spinnoff-Charakters and Twinks

I think I get the differences at heart between the two, but is there a specific place/server I should go to if I wanted to RP? I'm not sure on any of the lore etcetera, but I (still) play WoW and CoH and enjoy it much more with being able to RP..
You may RP on any Server you want

Just find the right people to do it. We don´t have PvP/ RP Servers.
Just do what you like.

And well, a general purpose question, anything a newb should know about rolling a new character etcetera? Such as quests I should do, best ways to get started, and so on?
Always do the Tutorial Quests on the Startet Isle of Silan.
It´s the best way to get to know the Gamesystem and a bit of the Gamelore.
These Missions are realy only a Tutorial. ATM there are not so many Missions on the Mainland, or better none like those on Silan. Devs are working on them

Oh, and would be nice to get someone to talk to in game to pester endlessly with annoying, silly questions.
Just ask nicely in "Region Chat" if its a Silan specific question, or in "Universe Chat" if its a Game-Mechanics question.
And please don´t spam LFG or whatever in either

Quick Edit: What about player housing too? Free to place? Non existent?
Player Housing is ATM nothing more then an expanded inventory/stroage space.

Only you may enter your appartment in one of the capital citys and put your Stuff in it. Maybe later this will change... We´ll see.
Ok, I hope this helps a bit.
CU around.
Have Fun
