Well here's a belated welcome to the community, Fiona! Hopefully you'll find the people here welcome and friendly, and feel the urge to stick around for a while! I've been here for about a month now I think and already I think this is one of the most lively, diverse, knowledgeable, and friendly group of people I have ever encountered in an MMO (and I've played in a lot).
As always, never hesitate to ask questions when you want to know something, and don't be shy! As a new RPer it can be a bit overwhelming trying to take your first step into a big pool filled with people who have been doing it for a long time, but just know that most of us are very tolerant and welcoming and I for one always love meeting new rpers and giving them advice or just RPing with them to get them comfortable with it all!
