That's the beauty of this game, there is no pre-defined path. The best way to get your feet wet is to pick a job and start levelling it outside town. Don't go too far, and don't bite off more than you can chew! There is no experience points lost for dying before Lv5, so feel free to explore a bit before Lv5, but after that you have to start being careful. Remember which monsters are aggressive and which will ignore you, and also remember that many monsters detect by sight which means they won't aggro (attack you unprovoked) if you stay behind them.

Also be sure to browse the auction house every few levels to see if there's new armor you can equip. The auction house is very useful for finding armor. Another good practice is, when you find the armor you want, you might want to look it up on the web and see where to obtain it. It might be easier to get the armor somewhere other than the auction house. Keep everything you find as pretty much everything in this game can be sold. First check if you can get much money for it at the auction house, and if it's not worth listing at the auction house then find an NPC vendor somewhere you can sell it to.

Aside from that, there isn't much to it. Level up, meet people, do quests and missions together, and have fun!

Yeah this game definitely punishes mistakes, which adds to the challenge and makes it more exciting (although at times rather frustrating). From what I've heard from WoW players, this game also takes a lot more time and effort to progress, so patience is a virtue. Also a lot more teamwork involved. From around Lv10 to Lv75 (the highest level) it's very likely that all the exp you gain will be in a party of 6 players. There are very few jobs that can effectively solo exp past ~Lv15.

As for a linkshell, it's like a chatroom. Once you've opened/named your linkshell you can use it to create linkpearls, and give them to people. Those people can then equip the pearl and talk to you on linkshell chat. (If you see colored pearls next to peoples' names that is their linkpearl.)

However, you probably won't have need for one as a starting player unless you have some friends playing the game as well. More than likely as you level up and start to do more events with other people and make friends in the game, you will eventually be invited to an existing linkshell. Around Lv50 it becomes absolutely vital to have a linkshell with some helpful people, because that's when you really start depending on other players to help you progress through the game. Before Lv40-50, linkshells will be more of a leisurely thing most likely, but after Lv50 and especially as you approach the 70's, your linkshell becomes your clan. Linkshells set up websites, plan large-scale endgame events, etc. Choosing a good linkshell later in the game is very important.
