I'm still a noob at this game myself but if you have any question post it here, you can alt tab out of the game just fine.
ALso, there's guides at gamefaqs.com lol.
Please don't let the beggining turn you off, you start off on an island made for noobs, with not much good gear to buy or too many interesting mobs. Once you hit level 8 get the hell off that island, there are no high levels to help you.
Once you leave, you'll be able to go to like 4 different continents, tho only the one you are on is low enough for you. (Not maple island, noob zone)
It gets MUCH funner later on as you buy cooler gear and see cooler places.
I remember take my magician up to get this stupid flower, a quest for some screws I needed to craft a staff. And it was mad fun, it reminded me of Rayman (Playstation version) action, with spikes and flying things trying to knock me down to my death haha.
Lots of cool things, like pig pets! OMG I LOVE MY PIGGY. He likes to tease noobs, I drop him somewhere and all these noobs rush to pick him up, then I save him by picking him up, go somewhere else and drop him again! ahahahahah so funny. <3 PIGGY.
PS, MAGES > YOU (actually no one plays them because they suck until later levels)
Nothing like a high level ice/lignthening mage (what I want to be) go around teleporting (mages get to teleport DBZ style!) and kicking a$$!
<3 fun game fun game
