Tl;dr version at the bottom. (means too long;didn't read for you computer illiterate people)

And also, i'm a CRAP veteran (i think so at least) I'm giving you advise that i think could help. Everyone says slightly different things. Ask Diablo/Mortis/Raxis for more pro advise. They've been here since the start, unlike most of us.

Everyone gets sucked in when they start, and once you pop, you can't stop XD

Anyway, at the very beginning, you should be sticking with melee weapons, mainly because you can get 4 attacks with them, and also, your strength boosts its damage (1 strength = 1 damage) unlike short bow, no stat boosts it's damage. You CAN use two glocks, since most players have low defense at the beginning, and it shouldn't be a problem, unless your hitting really low. So melee or guns. Once you hit about level 15-20 then you can use any of them, they're still all useful, but PERSONALLY, i found ranged to be the most effective out of them all (since you'll be attacking mostly inactives who didn't do their stats properly, so it should be a breeze)

Also, you can change zones, but only once you've hit the appropriate level, level 20 to move to zone 4, level 40 to move to zone 3 etc. My advise is stay in zone 5 until you've done all your tasks, and maybe until about level 25. Because moving straight to zone 4 when available is just simply a bad idea since everyone is stronger than you. Although if you find a decently built square, then go ahead and move (i did it, got my butt handed to me for days, i DID have to build my square from scratch though)

And yes, at your level, once you get vagrants, you should spy some players and siege them for their square (if it has better bodyguard/police station) just so you have more of a chance of surviving if others attack you, and vice verse. If you've found an optimal square, then if you want, siege other players for their resource. Since that means you can use all your attacks/quests, and STILL earn extra resource in the end. (an idea that JUST came to me)

Questions at the bottom: Everyone here doesn't mind talking XD We're all happy vampires, 'cept me, i'm a happy bunny
Underworld: My guess, most of the top 1000 are active, and some people below that, you never know. Also anyone in a clan is most likely active. And underworld is more populated, by 5000, but both servers have thousands of inactives.
Underworld is the more complicated of the two servers, being because we have paths to take, upgrading items, auctions, stones etc. And necropolis doesn't, just trading items/POP. (personally i find necro more confusing, but i did only start necro, and i've played underworld for near 2 years)

Wow... wall of text. Sorry. Anyway, tl;dr version. Melee is better at the beginning, then you can use any after lv 20. Steal any z5 square that's better than yours, stay in Z5 until all tasks are done. And underworld is more confusing, but i think more rewarding.
