Firstly, welcome, glad you stumbled upon us.
Secondly, I think, to enjoy full experience, you should try to creep around both in-game and on the forums. There are lots of things to be offered and enjoyed from both.
Hope you enjoy game and forums, even if you're kinda shy, there are some nice people here you should at least attempt to get to know. :p
Make sure to glance over both forum and game rules, as they are enforced. Also if needing any assistance, there isn't an entire board devoted to helping players, so take a look there if you get stuck on anything. Can also PM a moderator or admin with any questions you have, or some of the members, most of us are welcome to helping.
