I guess let me be the first to welcome you then! Hail and well met!

I would suggest looking around for a community to get yourself into before the alphas are out. Join some Discords and learn about your fellow Elyrians - what you might want to do in game, what your fellows are doing, how to work with and against one another, what server/kingdom/duchy/county/city you might want to join, even real life meetups.

There are dozens of resources to get you started, so if you don't know where to look, or start getting overwhelmed, just post again. Someone will be able to point you in the right direction. Hope to see you around!
