Era and Classic are wayyy different. It might take a while for you to get use to the server.
I would suggest;
-finish tutorial
-explore the gmap, just watch out for PKers.
-check out all the jobs that we offer.
-get enough cash from the jobs to buy a gun
-join a gang to base, run solo, or create your own gang as well
-participate on all the events to get event coins to get cool prizes!
Again, it takes a while to get use to the server. Hope you have fun on Era!
