My advice - get yourself large dose of patience. I'm newbie too, started 2 days ago. It's still alpha(beta?) and many things are not implented, or have to be reworked. Only mineing, metalurgy and weponmaking is working so far, so it's rather not worthy to invest in other crafting skills, unless you really want to roleplay them. Second advice - just have fun. ;)

Customize your controls. Don't die by slipping down hills. Use the -fullbright cheat if you go to the death realm. Don't accept challenges from people. If you want money, beg. Then kill rats for "Progression Points", then beg for more money, then ask how to mine for gold. Don't speak out of character. Don't use leet. Be nice to the GMs. Light fires and leave them unattended. If you find a mushroom, eat it. Especially if it looks good. Don't use a weapon just because it looks cool - use weapons that you have the skill to use. Faster weapons are typically better. Use "m" to switch views until you find one you like (probably 3rd person or 1st person). Add nice people to your buddy list.

Haha, while that is a practical advice, I'm not sure if it should be promoted this way. ;)
Anyway, if you want to get 'free money' you'd better use some tact. It will yield far more and it's less anoying then the classic "can I have some stuff plz". Just RP to the regulars and pretend you like the game. ;D Playing a female character also helps.

What is THAT supposed to mean...?

People are generally more helpful to female characters.
