To all honesty, I think the best thing you can do is be random. Join a group, any kind of group, be part of a dance-line, role-play with a flying peanut, do whatever comes to mind. Or simply follow the crowd until you feel you can make around the realm on your own. Where there are more people gathered, just take a seat and see what all the bru-ha-ha is about. Be curious and try something out. There's much to do and a variety of people to interact with. Again, just simply getting a general feel of the game and community until you think you can go about at it one your own, know how to approach other players and enjoy their company.
