I really like when posters state:

I am really trying to like it..

If you don't like it, don't force yourself to like it..

Games were made to be fun, not make you feel like your going to a dentist.

If it doesn't grab you, don't punish yourself and stick around. There is so many other mmo's out there now,

there has got to be one that grabs you.

Yeah that

 Well the tip's given are very useful so wont post them again(trolls aside),1 tip I will give is..

Open up your map and when out of town and maybe feeling a bit lost uncheck the "overhead" option,you will now see a more detailed map and can find your way back home,once in a town click back on "overhead" to mouse over and see each vendor/trainer.

Indeed.  Hi Ho.  Hi Ho.  Its back to WOW they go..

First of all this game is my new addiction. It is the MMO I have been waiting for and welcome on board.

Lots of good tips already but I would say dont spend your AP too fast.  You don't need to spend that many in the start, best to just level up for the weapons and armour you want to use. Then decide what you want to do.  Use the little icon top right on the skill page to see the various suggested classes.

Dont try and level up all combat skills.  You can but I would stay with one and try and concentrate on it.  Maybe have melee as a backup but only to a moderate level.

The game is not linear so thre is no 'start here then go to this town then go to this town'  I have been in Sector 1 for a whole month now and still no where near finished.  The game is set up for roaming and you can pretty much go anywhere and do what ever you want.  Best to clean out the town you start in and save on petrol. 

Game really grows on you and right now its a good addiction

You'll realise what crap it is given time.. trivial pve content through the whole game...

I couldnt agree more. I tried it again because of all the people talking it up.  Its feels like its in the alpha stage, not even ready for beta yet.  I love the rubberbanding too.

How can you say the game isn't ready for beta yet?  Rubberbanding was around for one night and it was fixed, and I have not come across it again.  I have played more than 12 MMO's at launch and this game is more polished than the lot of them.  Not enough pretty trees for you?

People are enjoying the game to spite you. Really, it's all a plot.

1) Read up and educate yourself, when I was in the beta the little intro to the game you can play through does not really prepare you for what you need to know.

2) This may sound dumb but, don't panic or beg. If you can find a nice enough player and ask them a few questions.

3) Really give the game a try. Yeah the game might be hard at first, but once you get into the flow of things, the game is very fun. If all else fails and your still not having fun remember, this game is not for everyone. No one game, fits all.

Just on point one they have added more help and new tutorials as well but this game does benefit, as you say, from pre reading.  However I did just jump in but Iike feeling lost and trying to find my way.

QFT.

I am really enjoying the game myself. The game is not for those carebear wow kids that just want to jump in and either

1) gank other people

2) raid endlessly to get better/best gears (FE rewards crafting and all best items are from crafting)

3) looking for a eye candy game (FE is not an eye candy game ....period)

despite the flaws, this game is fun to play.

1. If you start a char in the middle of no where, it's a bug, log out and log back in.

2. If you log in and only see objects, no floors or walls, it's a bug, log out and log in.

3. If you have troubles with a skill not working (always red) or anything else (lost horse), log out and log back in.

Log out, and log in.

Challenging to think of tips not already here...

1. Garages are useful - where you can stow a mount, buy fuel or feed, etc. My tip is that you can see them on the large road map as little white squares. Most of the garages are a little ways out of the towns on the main roads... where you might expect a garage to be.

2. Leave your class expectations at the door. Really. Both the classes you are used to from other games and your own expectations of what will suit you. For example, with respect to fighting try melee, pistol and rifle. See what you are genuinely comfortable with. Do this before you spend AP.

3. Focus on crafting armour first... that way you can quickly equip your character so that he/she doesn't look like an idiot. Once I had a duster jacket, some leather trousers and some 3-d glasses I enjoyed playing a whole lot more because I absolutely hated the look of the starter clothing.

4. You can get into the setting simply by asking yourself, well what would you do if it was really you in this post apocalyptic desert? What would be important to you to have? Decent food? Decent clothes? And what do you think humanity needs at this point? Order? Chaos? Science? A return to nature?

Welcome and have fun! :)

The duster you can get from mob drops or quests in some, not all, of the newbie areas. It is easy to craft though. The 3d glasses give -1 perception and protection from a type of attack you won't see in sector one so I don't recommend them.

I agree. That's why I made a crafter chick first and played naked for a while. Problem solved.
