Greetings and welcome to the RETURN OF RECKONING!!!

While you may have heard that this game is all about the RVR (pvp), do not sleep on the PVE as it is massive and so, so good! With each race, you can progress through your half of a pairing's content and easily get to max level. Or you can mix and match from other pairings. Quests, Lairs and Dungeons - lots of fun to be had!

As for the RvR(pvp), you can start that immediately by going to any of the RVR lakes (pvp areas) in the first pairing's maps (two maps, each with half of the RVR area) and you can enjoy that action until level 16. Once you are 16, you cannot enter those areas and will be turned into a chicken if you do.

After that, you have an RVR area in every single zone that is for Tier 2, 3 and 4. But since anyone 16+ can enter these areas, it's called T4. There are quests for each RVR area with amazing rewards. Some on par with rewards from PQs and some a lot better! PQs are public quests that are out in the open world and made for anywhere from a few players to a couple of dozen. And yes, if strong enough, you can do many of these alone. And depending on how much you do for the PQ, you will earn better rewards!

When you first start, TAKE YOUR TIME. Read and explore everything! Try to get to the RVR areas by level 7-8 so you have plenty of time to earn rewards before you hit 16 and have to RVR in other areas. There is a lot to do and don't worry, you can always come back and see anything you missed for the PVE parts. Or go slow and just do the quests and PQs and start RVR when you are level 16+, it's your choice.

Make sure you visit the main city for your faction, as there are many quests there for lower level players too! And you can que for Scenarios at an early level (5 I think) and those are like battlegrounds where you can gain experience and rewards.

THIS IS JUST A GENERAL INTRO. HOPEFULLY, OTHER PLAYERS CAN POST THEIR TIPS AND ADVICE HERE AND IT WILL BE A GREAT SOURCE OF INFO FOR NEW PLAYERS!
