*'''Always remember the *7 P's*: Proper Prior Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance!'''

*You can never read too much. Rewad the wiki. Read the forums. Read blogs. You'll probably never stop learning!

*Scams are common in some areas of the game. Be aware! If you get scammed, you cant report it: its allowed!! So, triple-check anything you buy (watch for that extra 'zero', especially if it looks like a bargain, or the small spelling difference between an epic item and a trash one!)

*Don't trade directly with people - use the contract system, and again, read it through ''extremely'' carefully. If you agree to pay 100mill for something worth 10mill, nobody will give you that money back!

*Join the uni chat channels and Mumble chat channel '''EVERY TIME YOU LOG IN'''. Make it a matter of habit. Even if you don't have a mic on or don't chat much at first in the in-game text chat, you'll be amazed how much you learn without even realising it just by listening and reading others questions and answers! And if, like me, you're not too confident at first or are too nervous to ask questions, you'll soon see that it's rare that anyone (or at least, anyone you'd want to know!) laughs at a *stupid* question (even if they've answered it 12 times already in the last 4 hours!!). Try just saying 'hello' when you log-in and 'bye' when you go off to start with, and saying 'hi' and 'welcome' etc to others when they arrive or whatever. People soon get to know you (and you get to know them!) and before you know it you'll be answering other peoples questions, chatting away with the other regulars (who have suddenly become friends!), and welcoming newcomers like an old hand!!
