I disagree with the others, the train pretty much has left the station.
Most player have their chars finished and have lots of money, and as a new player you will struggle to find groups as most will be doing high end content. For example, a good place to earn feathers is DS. But to get into a DS Group you need to be like RR5 and templated up to your ear. To have fun in RvR theese Days, you also need to be templated up to your ear. Raids are more infrequent so some nights you will not be able to do anything but solo farm oranges for some random drops.
They have nerfed alot of the "easy to do" content, which hurts us new players trying to get into the game. I'm even finding it hard to find a Group leveling up as a healing class. Especially since PvE on each realm is mainly a few FOTM classes, if you start with a class that's not on that list you will never get into a PvE farming group.
But if you can find a way to solo grind for about 3 weeks after hitting 50, I'm pretty sure you'll have a template and can start doing the game. But the time spent is NO WHERE near what the devs are suggesting.
With that said, it is still a good server and concept. But I thought you should know what you're getting your'r self into
