Noob Mage looking for Guild and some Questions

[DonPake]

G'Day all,

This is my first time playing this game. I used to watch a friend play this game for hours when I was a kid,
It has intrigued me ever since. Now I'm here and having an absolute blast!

I'm looking for an Australian/OCE guild to join as I am really really enjoying my adventures thus far and would like to delve deeper in,
I love the fact that I have no clue as to what I'm doing/should be doing. No hand holding here and its glorious!

Currently, I'm a level 4 Erudin Magician named Aammune on the Blue server trying to make his way through the Toxxulia Forest.

Also while Im here a few Questions,

• Should I stay in Toxxulia Forest or go to this Freeport that I keep reading about?
• Best Mage pet to use at my level?
• Is there anyway to see my ping?
• Where are the servers located?
• Is there a recommended VPN/Tunnel to use?

Thanks guys,

Aammune, The Magician.
