Hi! based on experience, making friends and playing with them has always been what made the experience so much more than just a game. It is always up to you what you want to do and the best thing to do is be active, do all your dailies, and participate in the rebates that work best for what you want to do. The best advice I can give you (based on my own opinion) is to research and figure out where you want to be in the future, the goals you want to reach and do what you want to do to reach it in the future. It will involve a bit of patience, but I believe in you =]
