Would love to start up

Yes, a newb is truly interested in the game.  A friend of mine has an old copy of the latest game/expansion, and he gave it to me and his account info.  Thing is, I don't know if I really want to.  It looks like it would fit me perfectly and is everything I'm looking for in a game, but its also almost empty and not exactly hospital for a newb.  Is it possible for someone to start up this late in the game's life period?

    Its never to late to start playing AC, you can always find players to fellow with that matching your level, as soon your are level 50 you can fellow with all players that are 50-275 level.  there are new things every monthy patch, last patch we got pets, this patch we have hallowween festival. there is 750 dungoens and 400 quests in the game and a massive landscape that keep groving bigger. you will not get bored for a very long time image 

    My toons is level  are 205 / 170 / 120  /120 and I have played since 2002 not even close to max my toons yet, I might be half of the way to max my 205 level main toon. image

    I played from 1999 to 2004 and I loved the hell out of it. I don’t really remember why I quit playing but I miss it and I am going to start playing again when I get back in the states. I have tried playing other games like EQ2 and SWG but AC rocks. It is the best game where you can create your character the way you want and raise the stats up your self. I am going to start from scratch when I start up again.
    The only thing I wish they would do is redo the graphics and promote the game more to get new players.
    But you will love the game. Good luck.

    OK well, I'm really pumped to start, but I've hit another roadblock...

    What character is good for a newb?  I know the combat is wildly different here and I'm afraid I'll gimp myself before I even get into the game.  So what would be a good starter layout?  Thanks, can't wait to start upimage

    Try http://acvault.ign.com/View.php?view=Guidebooks&category_select_id=3 some decent discussion on templates plus stats for each, this should get you going!

    AC is a game you need to try at least once. Go into the game with consideration of the time it was made and realize it's not going to be like World of Warcraft (if you have played it). It's really fun once you get higher in levels, as you will just feel so powerful running around super fast. Also, keep in mind that if you start getting bored questing/leveling up, just simply pick a direction and start running to explore. You will never hit a zone line and you will come across cool landmarks. Have fun.

    AC truly is a great game.
    I even recently went back and played it some more after years of not playing ...

    There IS still community there - you just have to find it. There arent millions of people running around ( and lagging up ) every open space. It doesn't have the -population that it once did, very true - but its not dead yet ^

    Gaming? That's not gaming!
    That's just people sat 'round in costumes drinking...
