If I could go back in time, I'd give myself one hint: Walls are the background, hammers destroy it. I'd then warn myself not to talk to anyone who had played the game until I was well into it.
My first generated world now has a giant golden tower shaped like a penis in it.
My reading of the wiki was just to satiate my "Want it now!" attitude since I couldn't actually play the game. The recipes automatically populate if you have the mats and are standing near the correct workstation so it's not too bad. I lol'd when I sat the game had "phaseswords".
Why do I feel I made a terrible mistake choosing a large world? This bitch is massive. i've been digging for HOURS and I have seen no lava or skeletons or anything!

You should be seeing skeletons, but if you dig straight down in a 2 tile wide tunnel there won't be enough space for skeletons to spawn. Lava is just really deep down.

This. Also I'd say it's better to seek out caverns on the groundlevel that will lead you to the depths, all the fun stuff is in the caverns, enemies, chests and you get deeper faster.
There was a new patch. You can change the resolution now.
Also, I just learned that Terraria NPCs are a stubborn bunch. I wanted my Merchant to move from his little cottage out in the boondocks to a more centralized, well defended loft in my castle. He obviously wouldn't move voluntarily, so to persuade him, I ripped all the furniture out of his house. Unfortunately, that didn't seem to do the trick, as he continued to huddle inside instead of pursuing my much more sensible alternative. With few options available, I opted to burn the cottage down and pulverize the rubble until nothing was left. Ever obstinate, he chose to wander around, homeless, braving the hordes of zombies and demons in the night rather than move into my goddamn castle.
It wasn't until I wedged him into a box, built a huge elaborate tunnel underneath the box leading to his room in my castle, and then shoved him down into it, herding him the entire way until dropping him into his room, and sealing the doors from any potential escape, that he finally "agreed" to live where I wanted him to.
I need to find more shadow orbs for more meteorite. Stupid bastards are hiding from me. I really want in to the damned dungeon so I can beat this friggin game.

Have you cleaned out the underground jungle and hell yet? you get way better stuff there.
To directly answer your question, no. I'm trying to get a full suit of meteor armor so I can shoot things endlessly with my Space Gun
Orbs are at the bottom of corruption pits. Just drop down every one you find. Getting back up is a lot easier if you head to the underground jungle first and get the ivy whip.
I'm on a large map so finding anything special like the jungle is a BITCH. In fact, I haven't found it yet. I am, though, happy to report I've got enough Hellstone and obsidian to craft everything you can make out of those materials.
The underground jungle is typically directly under the corruption -- so if you go the edge of the corruption and dig down at an angle, you'll probably hit it.
Patch 1.0.4 today. The big addition is with vanity slots, where you can adjust your appearance without adjusting the bonus you get from equipment, as well as a bunch of "vanity items" which provide no benefit other than appearance. Also a new NPC, the Clothier.
There are some other minor adjustments. Full log here.
I keep playing through it with new characters just because I end up having a new person to play through it with on multiplayer each time. Even that's getting old now, though. However, I will say that the introduction of bunnies helped to rejuvenate the game for me. Bunnies help everything. Although I was sad I couldn't pilfer their corpses for a bunny ears vanity item.
I don't have Terraria, but when people say things like that I always wonder if they actually mean what they said (i.e. 2.5x as hard), or if they actually mean only 1.5x as hard.

Not bad for $10

Also, I took down Skeletron real quick on a new map for funsies.

Also, note from my latest character: fuck bats.
