I've played MMOs where you start in a tutorial area by yourself.
*Maybe* that is what is happening here. You really need a reply from
someone who has actually played the game to help you out. :-P

I suggest not grouping up at first until you have a better handle of
the game. You can probably solo for a time anyway. When you get better
at the game, you will probably feel more confident about getting into
a group. Or maybe you can just join a guild first and just chat with
people.

Now with that said, you can also just solo. For some players, there is
an appeal in just playing in a world where other real people are
running around in. If this is not true for you, and the grouping
aspect doesn't work out for you, you will probably be better served by
playing a Bethesda style single player RPG.
