I am just starting out in PvMP and on the defending Hoarhallow quest do i have to complete this quest to get into the other aspects of PvMP, or are they just welcome to the area now getting going type of quests? Also, I am clear on the quest at the Ettenmoors but not so clear on the part where you participate in the taking of the outposts, do you have to pay the 500 commendations to become a Ranger to participate in the taking, or could you do it just through the quests at Ettenmoors?

Thank you in advance for your help.
