Hey, welcome to the boards!
Starting a new realm can be a bit difficult, but it's definitely rewarding. If you have any questions about starting up, please post. There are tons of people floating around that can answer just about any question you have. To help you get off your feet, go download the
New Realm Starter Kit, and check out some of the stuff that Cib has up on his free
resource store.
This isn't everything that you may need over the course of your realm's life, but it's a great start.
Best of luck.
