Hi Kry and welcome to Planeshift!
Good to hear you read the FAQ, you are a step ahead of most of the new people to the game
Try not to be sheepish in game, there are usually several nice people online that will be willing to chat
And no, there is no noob guild. After reading the FAQ, you have most of the answers you need for the game, so there really is no need for one. But you can always check out the guild thread and see what kinds of guilds are out there if you are interested in joining something.
