From me, you need someone who you can trust. And I'm not talking about "friends" form this game, because 90% of population of FOnline will take all your stuff, kill you, shit on your face and laugh. I know it suck. But you need to start to play with some friends. Maybe with friends from school/work, maybe from another game. People you know and you trust. And then play in 3-5 alts party
No PK will stay alive with you. That should look shortest tutorial for all newbies:
1. Don't start game alone. Find someone who will help you. Even 2 is better than 1!
2. When you start game go to bigger city near your spawn.
3. Earn some money by quests/shoveling and try to rent room.
4. If you got room you got safe place to storage stuff for little time till get 10 hides. If not find place at city when you will leave your stuff(where no one enter or its hard to see it - behind table/plant/bed). More of player even if they find sledgehammer or hatchet/wood/some ores they don't take it because they don't need it.
5. Try to find 10 hides. Shovel shit and buy/ Lvl up a little and hunt it/ ask someone for help. Build tent!
Some rules how to survive at south:
1. If you need to enter town and you got expensive(or any other) item put it into second hand(if you got 2 things put second to first hand.). That would protect you from thiefs a little. Remember that someone can kill you/crip your hand and take stuff anyway(friend of thief/killer will loot you and him before guards).
2. When you are getting out of town always look at party list. There are many followers in this game.
3. Don't use Turn-Base Fight option near cities. Long fights = many people will enter encounter = you got gun, he got gun - you are dead. Stay in encounter as short as you can!
I think i will make new topic about "How to survive at Wastes".
But lets back to topic. You need to stop play alone and start to play in group. Use voice chats - it will help in communication. Good luck and Kill all PKs at South of Wastes.
Bye.
