I plan to go into more depth in the future on this topic but for now here are some tips to make the game more enjoyable.

1. Look for servers that appeal to you. This can be done by reading forums or even searching on google or reddit. Some servers offer more than others and higher population ones have more activity at all hours. Plus the economy is usually better leading to lower cost purchases.

2. Don't settle on a class just because it's your first. Experiment and find a playstyle you like. Restart if you want and do whats fun first, not what everyone says is best.

3. Don't burn yourself out. This game is fairly casual. Outside of holiday events, items and quests are here to stay. Take your time and when you get tired, stop playing. In the end you'll have more fun.

Happy New Year everyone!
