I'm going to let others get you started, choosing and creating your avatar and then finding a server,
and i've included WIKI links throughout so that i can keep this site to simply the stuff that is referenced often rather than including ALL the How To's.
Exploration :
Bandit Camps - EVERYTHING here is available to take, you never know what you might find. Safely grab a meal or leave behind unwanted items in the chests.
Mines - Ore, and loot in every level. lanterns, Couldrons, Buckets, Leather and all manner of loot can be found, the deeper you go the more valuable the metals and tool parts.
Rocklands - Practice your battle techniques on Turbada's and mine some of the early ore's.
Mines - ATT has a random mapping system which means that any maps you have will only match THAT ATT server.
Climbing Tower - Learn/Earn the skills to become spiderman! Can be located by travelling through and past the Rocklands.
