Not true. I was reading these forums a week before I actually got the game (the time it took for the order to arrive). There was no one telling me about this site either. I just happened to find it through Google.
Picked up very useful information from here during that week, and tried my best to avoid spoilers. Gave me a very good start when I finally got in to the game.

Thank you all who help the newbies in this forum.

Anyway here's my small tip:
On the quest log window you can click on a name of that quest and it will show the direction you need to go on the radar for that particular quest.
Found that really handy once I figured it out. I have met several people who didn't know about this feature.

* You're not supposed to get run. Anywhere. Ever. Even for free.

* Droknars Forge is a town you'll get to in due time, quite late in the game.

* The game doesn't end when you reach level 20, or ascend. There's plenty left.

* Pre-searing is big, with lots of content. Spend some time there.

* You CAN leave pre-searing at level 1 and survive, but there's no point. Pre-searing is nice and has content to last you to about level 8.

* You need an EXPERT salvage kit to get armor upgrades off the armors you find which have names in other colors than white, the ordinary salvage kit will just give you raw materials. Same for weapons.

* Runes and weapons upgrades and dyes are applied by double-clicking them, and then clicking the thing you want to upgrade/dye.

* Don't sell silver or black dyes in pre-searing.

* Try the Ascalon and Yaks Bend arena if you want, but be warned that they're overflowing with twinks using unfair methods to kill new players. Your experience there wont reflect what pvp's really like. If you want to try PvP, you're better off making a dedicated PvP character.

* Some people are natural assholes. It's just the way it is. If you get in a group where people are behaving badly - leave. Same goes if you happen to join a guild with a lot of assholes in it, just leave, there's too many guilds out there that you should put up with assholes.
