Take particular note of this tip:
This is where the adventure truly begins, and no two adventures will be alike. Talk to each of the NPCs (Non Player Characters) on the island. They will give you quests and bits of not only interesting, but useful information. The quests will reward you with some decent newbie armour that will put you well on your way. Don't forget to check out the pretty girls. They really like it as in reality they are 50 year old men with beer bellies and greying white undershirts playing EQ2 on a laptop in their bed while they eat cheetos and asking their mothers, whom they live with, for a drink. Chances are they are also the ones not wearing pants.
