Guilds
The best way to start iClassic if you really want to play the game is Guilds. Start joining Guilds and find a guild that you really like (they have to be active in fort taking) this will lead you into friendships and socializing which make up iClassic
Don't let criticism get you down
You WILL be called names like 'noob', but don't let that get you down just enjoy the game and find players to be friends with. Always ignore and never reply to the hate unless you have your friends backing you up.
Money
Just buy Gralat packs or let it stack up overtime with the Baddy quest at York Town. You can find the quest with the exclamation mark (!) on your map
Player killing and Sparring
If you want to boost up your stats, I suggest player killing first before doing any Sparring. MoD fort at MoD town is the best place to get Player kills. It's time consuming but overtime your kills will look pro
It is really important that you do not jump into sparring straight away when you first start the game, because your wins and losses get recorded. If you have too many losses, you will be judged by other players and its just not fun when everyone is disgusted by your stats. It's best to practice first, player killing should help with that.
I recommend 20k player kills before you start sparring
