With lessons from EVE and DayZ: Form a group with people one trusts, gather gear (AH, crafting, least risk), trust no one else (Avoid or kill in self-defense) and progress with caution... Too bad that even then you'll probably die from something random or break a leg from seemingly nothing. Like falling off ladders. I'm looking at you, DayZ.
Or as the poster above me, wait. Establish a life in the game as a trader or whatnot and wait.
