Hit 'c' to get your chat window to pop up, then type '/menu' to get your health bar, etc to appear, and everything else should be selectable from the menu (nav, powers, etc.).
...I forgot what experience means.

I always play blueside, but I decided to go ahead and make a villian for once. I made him up, entered and my HUD ( menus/windows) were not present. I did not have them turned off, they just didnt appear. I had no power selection bar, no chat window, nothing. My question is what are the "shift" or "ctrl" commands to get the menus/windows back into view.
**A side question would be is redside a lot harder than blueside?

Okay, I've heard of people losing their HP bar before (on both sides); perhaps this is a more severe version of that. If so, hit the " \ " key and that should open the main menu. From there go into Options and Windows and "Reset Windows".
You might also try pressing " c " and see if your chat box reappears.
As to redside itself, there are some minor differences like AoE-type attacks being slightly more common. On the whole though, I'd say it's easier to get into: travel times are much shorter, you don't get sent to a contact in another zone who sends you to a mission door in the zone you started in all the time, and story-arcs begin with the very first contact.

Just to expand on the contact difference a bit more:
Unlike heroside, contacts will only pass you up the contact chain within the same zone. Once you outlevel a zone you'll need to go to the next zone and run newspaper missions until your broker bar for that zone is full, then do a mayhem and get introduced to a contact in that zone.
As well, if you don't have any more contacts in the contact chain you have to do newspaper missions to start another contact chain in that zone.
A great guide for zone levels and the contact branches is Dread Tomax's Guide to the Rogue Isles' network of contacts .

A day without sunshine is like...you know...night time.
