Give it a week, for the lag. You've arrived during the Halloween festivities, that include a Zombie Apocalypse this year. The lag doesn't affect everyone, but there seems to be a significant number that have mentioned it.
Given that Halloween ends this weekend, I'd say your first order of business is to get all of the badges while you can and do some trick or treating. The "costumes" are fun, but temporary. They evaporate after two weeks or thereabouts. If you get the Apocalypse Survivor badge, you unlock a Jack'O'Lantern helmet as a costume piece.
Get out there and stomp on some zombies!
Oh, and you'll probably achieve better results by re-posting this to the Virtue forum. 
That's where the sorts of people who might invite you to a Virtue-based supergroup will be hanging out.

Taking Care of the Multiverse
Hello!
Just re-activated my account and it's been awhile. So, I have got to re-learn some things as well as find out what all has changed. Wanted to post here, say hello and see if I can get anyting going.
I have two low level characters on Virtue, to which I hear is the main rp server (if thatÂ’s not true let me know).
But I'd definitely like to meet some people, maybe join a SuperGroup as well.
Also, I've noticed the game is real laggy for me which is unusual. I play 2 other MMOs and don't have any issues...and didn't have any when I was here last time. Is there anything that I can do to adjust that? Is there anything you can configure (shading, etc) to help?
Anyway, I've got 2 characters and I'm looking to find reasons to stay around awhile. Hope to hear from you.
Thanks!
