First of all, welcome.
It can be hard to level up at low levels, but what I have found over time is that if you focus on the RP the leveling actually comes faster. I am not saying 'Don't' adventure, you should adventure a lot, but RP while you are doing it. Ticks of 20-35xp add up very quickly, especially at lower levels.
I wouldn't really worry about level equality, either. You'll get better XP in a group of similar levels, but you can tackle much greater adventure in a mixed range party and so long as the RP is solid it can be a lot of fun. I have somehow landed with a handful of newer, lower level, characters recently and had some of the best RP I've ever had (Eidolon thanks you, guys) on those adventures, and have also had a ton of fun with folks who I am sure are level 30.
The only time leveling is truly hard is if you refuse to interact, RP (even with emotes!), and play with your fellow players. Send me a Tell if you see me on, and good luck.

I'd stumbled upon NWN2 and this server in particular a good few months ago, though until now, I hadn't given neither BGTSCC or NWN2 a proper try. I've some experience in NWN/FR, but as far as the second game goes, I'm entirely out of my element!
It likely doesn't come off as a surprise that I'm finding it difficult to progress past level one, nor that I'm akin to a headless chicken in-game - utterly clueless and lost. As such, should anyone have tips for a newcomer, whether they pertain to locations of RP hubs or methods of safe levelling/levelling in general (my character is a level one rogue, so soloing isn't exactly viable right now!), I'll gladly receive such either via PM or here, or better yet, if anyone is interested in starting up a group of lowbies, even if it's just a pair of us, I'd not be at all opposed to the idea. Keep in mind, though, that I'm an EU player!
