The following Guide assumes three things. 1st New Account. 2nd You don't want to delete any character you create. 3rd You buy every adventure pack for 20% off in this order as they go on sale. Sales are not predictable and should not be relied on but they happen and if you can wait, they will present themselves.
You must Create 9 character's over 5 Servers first. Each of these must be run through on Elite for every Free to Play quest in the game until you can afford the adventure packs and they go on sale.
It should be noted for about $10 you can purchase DDO Points and buy an extra character slot giving you a total of 5! per server once for the purchase and two for becoming premium. If you do this you can do 10 characters over 2 servers and make friends easier and get more reliable groups. The time it will save you can not be measured but it's almost assured to be worth it over the course of playing Dungeons and Dragons Online. That one time fee pays for it's self quickly.
