Man, must get away from my PC more often, if I´m always the first to greet Newbes XD
One tip up ahead though.
Take your time finding a guild that suits your taste of play.
Don´t take the first invitation that comes flying your way at face value.
Get to know the people behind it and see if you really fit in with their lot and if they really are the peeps you want to play with.
No offense to anyone intended.
You don´t want to end up in a PVP Guild as a PVP hater, or vice versa, don´t you
As for some tips.
Go and read this thread. http://forums.ryzom.com/showthread.php?t=26892 And don´t let your boss see you browsing forums while at work
While some things in there are outdated, most of the info is still valuable.
