3742, You should give it another go, making the right decisions and being in the right frame of mind this time

+ Play the right class: Warrior is not a beginner class, too many variables and complexity. You want either Assassin or Ranger. I'd suggest Assassin. For race you want Arial or Human or Felar.
Assassin will allow you to hide and see enemies approaching easier.
+ Try and join the right Cabal. I would strongly suggest you be of good alignment and try to join the Fortress. Playing with others (allies) will allow you to learn things much faster and you'll get help with regearing/preps and exploration. You will also get an idea of cabal dynamics and cabal wars.
+ Try and interact with others in game. Approach obvious good-aligned players (elfs, dwarves, paladins, Fort members), let them know of your intentions to join Fort, ask for help etc. The bonus of playing good is that not everybody is going to want to murder you. If you play evil, you can have the whole mud gunning for you.
+ Find information outside the game. The unofficial forums and wiki (you need to sign up for the forums to access it) @ www.qhcf.net are full of extremely useful info. There is also an IRC channel.
+ Most importantly as daevryn said, learn to enjoy dying. CF has permadeath either due to con loss or age death or you deleting. No char is permanent, so take advantage of this, play a couple of chars and con die them to get the hang of PK. View each battle as a learning opportunity. Lost equipment/coins can be replaced very fast if you learn how to do a basic regear.
CF _is_ challenging but if you follow these simple recommendations you will have a lot more fun as you learn the ropes.
