The druid just made L22, which makes me think I need to slow down! The paladin is only L13.

I had similar experiences with both toons in newbie areas. Folks pretty much left me alone, which is what I wanted =)

On the paladin, long ago, when I moved to the secondary areas folks would just appear and kill me because they could. Not for anything. I would ask why in an effort to understand pvp culture. That didn't go over well, heh.

With the druid. I've had the ability to just stay away from other players, but when I have met them, they have been really friendly. Nobody has tried to attack me. I think that's correct as I don't think I've given anybody a reason to: haven't competed for a resource, haven't been an asshole, etc.

One player in particular cut me a deal on the Smoldering Brand and I considered that a favor given that it's a bit steep in the beginning on earning spending plat. Better to level a while. Smoldering Brand sure helps that (for a little while longer).

It hasn't been bad at all this time around. Hell, might have to hand the weapon off and play pally a while.
