The reality of the forums is that there are many who have fun picking on people. Some times they say things intending to be funny but it can be interpreted as being mean. Your best bet is to get in the game and start playing. Find some people to group with and ask for advice. When I enter a new zone or camp in a group, I always let the person inviting me or the group know that I am not familiar with the camp / zone so that they know what they are getting from me. I have never had this be an issue and I learn the finer points of that camp. The same can be said of classes. If you join a group, let them know you're new to the game or the class and I am sure they'll give you advice (probably they have other characters of the same class and can really be helpful). It's better to learn "under fire" than any kind of formal type of mentoring in this game.

Welcome to the server and remember the most important thing is to have fun! It will be challenging and slow at times but the overall experience should be fun.
