Welcome to the Empire Raayn, hope you're going to enjoy it here. The server may take getting some used to, but once you get the hang of things then it might become very hard to leave it again You already discovered the forums, nice, be sure to use it if you have any questions. Have fun and maybe we'll meet in-game sometime!
Thanks for the posts. No idea which server i'm on, is there any way to check? Any recommendations for a good server? seems the frontier on mine is kinda mined...
If you click tab it should say at the top. The frontier on every server will be mined at spawns because it never resets but if you walk out a little it will be normal.
