New Player Looking for guild/help/mentor etc

[Nocturnal]

Hello,

Just signed up yesterday, I'm a mature player familiar with booth MMO's and D&D, but not DDO.
Thought I would give it a try. I usually pick things up quickly but I would really appreciate some help getting started, I browsed the forums and bit and based on mentions in a few posts I decided to go with the Khyber Server, word is you is good people

My current character is Arnec Sharpe a paladin currently lvl 2 but I'll probably be trying out few other classes, I'll post them up here as I make them.

Soloing is rather boring and if your new it can be frustrating, so right now I'm looking for guild/group who has patience for newer players. I learn fast and I' sure I'll be able to contribute pretty soon. I certainly don't mind helping out new players myself provided they don't act children, and once I'm familiar with the starting area and have a few starting characters in the pipe I can help run other new players through for a guild, however I am looking for an established guild with experianced and mature players not a newbie guild.


Thanks in advance

Daniel

Welcome to DDO I would suggest playing a bit and grouping with lots of different people just use the lfm. I am sure you will get invited to a guild before too long. but find people that have the same (playstyle and fun) as you before you join one.
ps dont forget to /joinchannel help
for all your questions in game

your right, the khyber server houses a bunch of good people. im not implying that the other ones dont, i just dont know the other servers very well. there are more than a few good guilds that would fit you here, im sure you wont have any problems picking one.

welcome to ddo, i hope you like it as much as we do

Hi welcome.

The above advice is good:

Do some pugging, first. While all the larger guilds have some top talent, they vary widely in personality and history.

It would be a bad idea for anyone to colour your impressions with their own prejudices, and most here won't do it. Make up your own mind about who you run pugs with and who you seem to get along with best.

make sure you check your "unconfirmed" mail tab at the mailbox for a stream of goodies that will come your way to help you get started.

mimicing other posters, I would also suggest leveling up a bit. get to know people with guild tags in your party.

Around levels 11-13 you should have a better idea of where to go. Most people it seems, atleast on this server, do pick up groups while leveling. Being in a guild at low level isnt going to do much for you party wise.
