Don't do it! It's all well and good saying "great here's a game where people can do what they like" but unfortunately most of the game has devolved into an absolutely horrendous world where no one really ever trusts anyone else. As such a starting player has next to no chance to get anywhere and only those people who'se names are well known enough to a few, can actually get on and play the game.
Personally, I gave up on the game after loosing pretty much my entire 3 years worth of assets. Any game where you can loose your entire "lifes" work over one tiny tiny mistake, or the act of another vindictive 12 year old just isn't worth playing....
