Hey Tony and welcome to our own little world of chaos.
Battle Dawn Forums
viewforum.php?f=45Here you might want to visit introduction to, well, introduce yourself.
Also visit the Game Guides and Strategy & player-guide sections, and newbie questions boards.
There is also a mentor "program" you can join called Adapt-a-newb. They'll teach you what you need to know.
