1. Be civil
Most of the toons you see are other players, not NPCs. Treat them as you would if you were meeting someone new irl. Remember, it is a small world and you will probably see them again.
2. Take your time
This is a game to enjoy, not something to mark off your 'To Do' list. When you follow the quest line do a little extra. If your quest is to kill 3 mobs, take the time to kill 5-6. The exp is very good for a little extra time. Also, your quest list will be very long at the beginning of the game. Don't worry, you don't have to do all of them right now. They will still be there when you log on next time.
3. Be patient
Some quest may take weeks or months to complete. Be patient, you will get there.
There are people from all over the world playing this game and may not write English that well. Be patient and take the time to communicate with them.
A small percentage of the human race are jerks. Be patient. Is this person really a jerk or was there a miscommunication? If it turns out that you have encountered one of the rare jerks out there, block them and move on. If you are encountering a large number of jerks, perhaps you should consider the possibility that you are a jerk and others are reacting to your jerky behavior. Be patient with yourself. You can learn to behave like a civilized human being.
4. Be content
Don’t worry too much about keeping up with the Joneses. There will always be someone with better gear than yours or higher level than you. So what?
There is a wide array of weapons and equipment in the game. You don’t need all of them. Don’t waste time and gold buying every incremental upgrade out there. The quest armors are quite good and if you take your time and follow the quests, it is also free.
5. Follow instructions
If you are instructed to give 3 tips for newbies, limit your list to 3 items.
The real title of this one is “Have a sense of humor”. Remember, it’s a game. Don’t take it too seriously and have fun.
