I've always been on the fringes of pvp ages.
Was first 30, 32, 38, 42, 45, 48, 52. I'm one level ahead, but now that I've retired, if I ever come back, it'll be like level 60 :S
Wait until a new server comes out, and get to level 20 in one day, get your friends to help you in a 5* trade (yes, you shouldn't thief when there is nobody to rob (although you are now robbable

))
