Have to correct myself in part-personal story is still there-you'll get some questions in your character creation that helps guide them. Living Story is different.



If you've never played before, create a character, do the tutorial to get a feel for how the game works. That will throw you (I think) into the first starting zone for your race. There is a way to join your friends from there I think, but I will have to look it up to see how they do it these days.
