Do you mean like you can't find any places to PvP? If so, here's what you do.

Go outside into the Isle of the nameless. Immediately turn right and follow the road and you will hit a sign that says "Random Arenas". I believe there will be a Guard of the Isles sitting next to it. Talk to him and he will send you to the Random Arenas lobby. Once you're there, press "Enter Battle" and viola.

There are other modes of PvP too. There are Team Arenas (TA), Hero's Ascent (HA or HoH for Hall of Heroes), Hero Battles (HB or HvH), Alliance Battles (AB or in weird cases AvA), and Guild Vs. Guild (GvG) matches. To unlock Team Arenas, you must win 5 matches in a row in Random Arena (RA). After that to unlock HA, win 5 times in Team Arenas (they don't have to be in a row). You must own Nightfall to play HB and Factions to do AB.

To do HB, you must have 3 heroes unlocked. After that, talk to a Priest of Balthazar and he will unlock HB for you. To play AB, go to your guild hall. There should be an NPC there who will send you to the current AB map. The map changes every 3 hours or so. To GvG (note that this is often considered the highest form of PvP in the game) get a group with your guildies and they will start it. If you're an officer, you can too. Press guild battle and select whichever type you want to.

I'd also suggest going into the isle of the nameless to do 2 things:
1) Once you enter turn around and talk to the "Master of Paths". He can take you into the training arenas. Taking a bit of time to enter the training arenas will help familiarize you to some of the conventions of PvP. This will help you to not be quite so overwhelmed by everything when you first start to fight other players.
2) Exploring the Isle of the Nameless will help you sharpen some awarenesses that are very helpful to sucess in PvP (e.g. how to know if a teammate has a deep wound).
