			I decided to pay for the game and start subbing despite the general vibe of the game is dyeing on the forums. Yes allot of people go to the forums first before even deciding to purchase a game. I am impressed the developers have done a good job and it shows, definatly a sound purchase. I do hope more people decide to take that leap as well maybe the community can grow for the people who have been around here awile and dedicated.

Oh you precious gem. do not fret.  The doom and gloom is but mere echos resonating from a long-past dark period in the game's history.
Welcome to the game, and have fun.
 
This is the exact reason why the community needs to choke out these countless "THE GAME IS DYING F2P NOW?" and "HOW CAN WE SAVE THIS DYING GAME" threads.
Because converting this game to a f2p model is way too much work to do just because people on the forum asked pretty please, and there's *cupcake*all we can do to "save" the game outside of enjoying it and letting people know we are enjoying it.
 
Good job OP, you are a part of the solution. B)

Welcome Friend!
 
A few basic new player suggestions
 
First! Make sure you're on the PvE servers, as they are currently the healthy ones. You can free transfer to them (or free transfer back) on a 1 week CD.
 
Second! Make sure to join your server/factions global channel! you can ask in /a in the capital cities (either illium or thayd) to find out what is your proper channel. If you are dominion on the server entity, just type /chjoin EntityLFM then use /1 to begin typing
 
Third! Speak up! if you want to get a dungeon group together and are tired of waiting in the queue, ask in /1 for a group. And queue as your support role!
 
Fourth! Find a guild. No rush on this one but, it helps a lot.
 
Fifth! Have fun! the game is in a great state right now and only getting better. Enjoy your time on nexus :)

Welcome. The forums are always the wrong place to go to get an accurate picture of a game. Playing it is the only way.
 
As Kezra mentioned, definitely get involved socially; don't hide in a queue, etc.
 
Enjoy the best theme park available!

nice a new nexians, same advice as all:
 
1. go to pve server entity on NA or jabbit on EU (the pvp servers lack population, you will find more fun with us on pve)
2. activate hold to cast in your combat menu, press escape>combat>input options> hold to cast
3. join the global channels, if you are on entity:
 
- exile side: /chjoin lfg
- dom side: /chjoin entitylfm
 
to talk write /1, ask anything there the community is very welcoming
 
4. people tend not to use the looking for group tool, they tend to do premades so you will get faster queues if you make a group the old way, spamming in zone chat and global channels
 
4. when questing the xp given are tied to the class of the quest, there are 5 classes world story: gives the most exp, a must do quest
Regional story: gives less than world story, do this ones too
Zone story: gives a good chunk of exp but less than regional
 
task: gives the minimal xp, dont overstay in a place doing them, just do the other 3 classes of quest and move to other hubspath quest: these dont give exp to level  but to increase your path, you can come do this ones when you are level capped5. Moments of opportunity are the best dps enhancer in the game, to make one interrupta mob when he is casting something, his hp bar will turn purple
 
6. there is a lot of exp enhancers to make leveling fast and smooth
 
 - 8% xp buff from guild
 - 8% xp from flask (you can buy it with renown if your guild has unlocked this perk)
 - 2% from authenticator
 - 5-10% from house (at lvl 15 you will get your own house, visit it once a day to get a buff for leveling, it can be 5% or 10% depending on the day)
 - when log off leave your char into your plot, it will get rested xp (you can get more rested xp if you decorate your plot)
 
7. dodge a lot
 
8. almost all in the UI is customizable, so you can move it to where you feel more comfortable
 
i think that cover the basic, good luck on nexus

I'm going to go against any recommendations to "optimize" any aspect of your gameplay. Ask yourself, are you here to have fun? Do you view the game somehow as in the way of your fun?
 
Skip all the housing bonuses and stuff and just let the quests and world take you as they may... it's an incredibly fun game if you don't try to min-max your eyeballs out. Let it go.
