Do things in groups, because these force you to interact with others. For lower levels especially, PQing is a great idea. When I started in Khaini I didn't know anyone there, but I met several friends through Kerning PQ, and a few just from meeting people in places like Pig Beach (I'll admit this was much easier in my situation, because the server was a few hours old and there was just this huge influx of new characters everywhere without any other allegiances). From there, one of these friends created a guild, which I joined, and then the people in the guild invited other friends, and then we got to know each other, etc etc.
Guilds aren't always just for the name. In my opinion, guild can be a better buddy list than the buddy list itself, because you have this group and everyone in the group can hear what everyone else is saying; no one's left out or confused by hearing only half a conversation. However, it's best when you already know at least a couple of people from the guild, because then you won't feel as much of a stranger, but you'll also be able to meet new people as well.
