Hello all- I hope this isn't a repeat question, but here's my thoughts.

I recently made a new account after having been gone for a while. The reason I'd been gone is because I thought maybe this game wasn't for me because, when I first joined, I had no idea it was open world PVP or even what that was x) When I learned about it I always shied away from it. I always felt like I just wasn't good at it, and that I didn't have the courage to do it. This is still true, but I am attempting to move away from that.

This was one of the first MMOs I'd even tried. So I had an Asmo toon, got her all the way to level 63, and hardly did any pvp at all. Now I am stuck on that one, because mainly, it doesn't have any gear from any PVP and I am still very inexperienced in PVP; also, Enshar is all PVP for high levels, and my first toon is just so undergeared it's not funny.

I decided to start from scratch, and build my way up and try to learn PVP as I go along, because I'd been too scared before. I still am squeemish about it, which is a feeling that's very hard to get rid of unfortunately :/ So I want to try and learn but here are my issues:

You don't find anything in Abyss

Everyone is on Fast Track for low level Morhiem pvp quests

I've noticed anymore that the Colosseum is empty...(I'm talking on the Asmo side..I actually should probably check the Elyos one..)

Can't seem to get into Noschana incidentally, can't ever get a group going to do it.

I've read some threads on here about how PVP has sort of ebbed out, but I know there is still some. I do love this game, and I want to see everything it has to offer. I just know my skills are not up to par, and when I go to try and read up on skills and stats and all that, it's all walls of text and it just seems overwhelming (waaah xD)

So my question is, how would you get started? I'm not looking for any definitive answer, just some input and opinions. I really wanna actually get better at this stuff and have fun with it, rather than seeing it as something to be afraid of. I know that if I get used to PVP I'd probably like it, but it seems so hard to even get a starting point going.
