Lots of things have already been said and take their advice seriously.
I'd only like to emphasize one more point: If you die too often, "simply" try to avoid that. It may sound trivial, and I know it isn't, but I mean that to be serious advice. Exit one of the city gates. Then stop. Look around.
Now, if you've done all missions in Silan you will know how to distinguish animals that are of a much higher level than you are. You wouldn't want to fight them. So try not to get close. Continue looking around. Find animals or plants of a lower level than you - you don't have to walk far from the city gates to find some. If you don't see easy prey, rethink, maybe take a different city gate. Again, look around.
Once you see something with a lower level than you. Approach. Slowly. Weapon ready. Don't attack. Go right next to the other being. See what it does. Does it look at you? Does it start to attack you? If it does attack, kill it. You just learned that this being is "aggro". It's low level, so you can cope. If it doesn't attack you, it's probably safe to approach here and in other places, too.
Are there any others nearby? While you're fighting, look around. Does any other of the same race look at you while you are fighting? If yes, how does it react? If it's just watching, you're safe. If it attacks you, well, you may be in trouble. If you're outnumbered you die very quickly. Even if creatures are of lower level. Run back to the city guards, they'll probably help you. You just learned another lesson: There are beings here that are social and help their folks.
As you venture further from the city gates of course the landscape changes, the countryside is more dangerous than the cityscape. Relationships between animals gets more complicated. Sometimes one type of animal helps other types when those are attacked. The aggro ranges vary a lot. There's soooo much to discover.
But you have to take it slow. You must watch out. Else you're dead.
Those who play here, love to explore. We love to sneak & hide. Or we team up and build a group stronger than what we hunt. Most people play in teams because then it is _much_ easier. Some like the extra challenge of playing solo. Some switch between these playing styles. Some folks have tried to Trek between all the capital cities with a level 1 character without mounts. This is _extremely_ difficult. Some don't like the extra challenge, and still have fun. You have to find your own way to like this world.
Maybe you give it a second try. Take your time and try to discover. This is not WoW. This is Ryzom. It is different. Welcome to our planet!
