I'm level 5 and i understand the basics but i feel so alone. I see a lot of people running around but I feel like everyone ignores me. Is there any point when this will become a more social experience. I have no idea how these games work but it is pulling me in. It's a cool and cute game! I just really want to know when I should expect to find a group or something I'm trying to stick with it but it gets boring walking around doing quests at times! Thanks!

    It's normal.

    At lvl 19 you can go with a group to a DG(dungeon).

    Ehhh, around 40 you can get into BH groups and meet people. But at lvl 5....i'd look for a guild or something to keep you entertained. Some people accept all lvl's >.>
    Nothing worthwhile to mention here, enjoy the animated signature~

    One of the key elements to MMORPGs (this kind of game) is the social element. So no, you won't be alone forever.

    At the beginning of the game, the game piles a bunch of solo quests on you, to help you build up your skill base and get you used to how the game works. It can get pretty lonely, especially in your teen levels, and no one will be very interested in squadding with you, because everyone still thinks they can solo everything at that level. Unless they're alts, in which case they'll zip right past you. b:chuckle

    But once you hit level 20, you're sent to Archosaur. After that, you'll start experiencing squadding and, likely a bit later, factions. Squads allow you to team up with other players to achieve a mutual goal, like killing a boss or clearing out a certain kind of monster. If you connect to someone in the game, add that person to your Friends list. You'll be able to team up with them and help each other out in the future.

    My favorite social aspect is factions, though it may take a bit of shopping around to find one you like. A faction is basically a group of a hundred people or so under a common banner. They often help eachother out on quests, share materials for group benefit, or just chat about little nothings in the faction chat box. I'm part of a lively, friendly faction that helped me out in my lower levels, and now is active in TW. I consider a good many of them friends, because going through various dungeons together is a bonding experience.

    It takes a while to get there, but it's worth it. Yeah, there are trolls and jerks around, though they're rarer than the forums make it seem. Rather, the PWI players worth knowing are really worth knowing. Have fun. b:victory

    after putting EVE Online on hold and coming back to this for like the 4th time now, it is lonely for the first 20 levels or so, then you get to archosaur and everyones a bit friendlier there. Im quite used to the loneliness, the Serpentis don't make the best of friends back in EVE, ive noticed

    it's pretty normal. at level five, most characters are either new alts of seasoned veterans who run through the first twenty game levels in an hour or less, and therefore don't have time to chat; or else the very first character of a brand new player, who are still going "wait, chat? what's that? how do i talk to others again? what's all that yellow text in the corner for?"

    things get a little more social towards the end of the teen levels, and much more social as the game goes on past 20. protip: learn how to squad with others as early as you can. do it often.
