OK im currently working on a website covering these issues but its not ready yet so I will give you a couple of tips to try.
Deposit or Not Deposit that is the question,
Not depositing tends to be a slower start because you actually have to make some money to start with this can be done by Sweating
I wont go into it but if you want to know more Viagra falls guide to sweating
Other options are to find dung or fruit these can be found all over eudora and then sold or exchanged.
Oil is also an alternative and can be found in the PVP2 zone
Oil rig location topic
Deposit
If you deposit you dont have too spends weeks sweating thats not to say you cant do it just when you deposit you end up with a pocket full of cash and lots of items to buy. Initial items (in my opion) are an axe 1 a fap-5, a jester-d1 and a set of armour. Pixie or goblin(if you can afford it rascal)
once equipped start hunting, dont try Pking (Player killing) at this stage you will most likely get hung drawn and quartered, espeicially if you pick on someone in nemesis armour, while wearing a pixie suit :dunce:
Fun ok so thats the basics out of the way say you want to have fun what is there to do around Eudora, well that often depends on who is at the location and where that location is :), What I mean to say is there are often hotspots of activity in certain places but not always with the right people. (if you understand what I mean)
A good past time of mine is trying to climb objects the bigger the better

which combines it with oil art (stacking barrels ontop of one another to creat objects) Now mines not as good as many out there Im still a newb oil artist but its good fun trying :smilie here: (i couldnt put anymore in :sad Smily:
I could only find one picture but Skam can create some incredible pieces from oil barrels

You can try sliding this is to say you click in the distance and lie down instantly if you do it right you will slide along the floor (also how you can climb buildings).
TP hunting can be a good laugh but try to do it woth someone capable of defending you so you can make it further, getting almost to a city only to die and be taken to an outpost can be frustrating and tireing(I dont know how its spelt sorry ) If there is a group of you you get to chat with others and this can be a great way of making friends.
Group hunting can be good fun too and I find I have better results when hunting in a team then on my own,
ok I have probably written enough now and should be getting my hair cut now so I best go 
Hope some of this helps
Gd Luck and may the HOF be with you
opps just found it
