As much that is available that is immediately relevant to my character(both mechanics and lore) and the playing of the low levels of the game.

Depends on the quality of the writing. I know that when I get to the bottom of the first page and notice a prompt that I'm not even 10% of the way through a document, I tend to groan no matter how good the writing is.

I need to know the lore immediately relevant to the playing of my character before I finish creating it. I also need a basic amount of lore about the world in general, enough to function in it for a few days without making a fool of myself. Whether I get this off a website or from help files during creation doesn't really matter to me.

Mechanics are slightly more important to me than lore, but not much. I need to be able to derive a high amount of fun out of both aspects if I'm going to enjoy playing a character.

Intuition.

Poor grammar. Seeing a 5% prompt at the end of the first page. Unnecessary wordiness.
