Hello folks! I just wanted to stop by and mention that my first week of playing Istaria has been very enjoyable so far. My friend Silverth mentioned this game to me, so I started off with a free account and began playing as a Human to get some initial impressions of how the game worked and if I liked it. Those initial impressions were very good, so I subscribed last weekend and started a Dragon hatchling named Jstntron on the Order shard. Yes, I am a roleplaying newbie, but my friend assured me that I would be fine on the Order shard, so I have been playing there without issue. In fact, this is probably one of the nicest gaming communities I have entered, as I have already been messaged by a few Istarians in-game kindly asking if I am new to Istaria and if I am enjoying the game, which I am!
Anyway, I'm sure I'll be seeing some of you around as I continue playing and get to other places besides New Trismus. I'm happy that I tried Istaria as it seems I will likely stick with it for quite a while!
