You may just be too low a level right now... You need to be level 10 to start doing your job (gladiator)... Once you h it ten you can go to them and they will start giving you storyline... If your still lost for things to do you can use the recommendations feature and it will tell you whats available in your area... If nothing pops then its time to explore something else... The beginning is a little slow getting used to stuff but soon it will flood you with more stuff than you can handle...
