Hmmmm well if you are only staying til lvl 40 I'd avoid a clan...lol
The economy... not the most flourishing to say the least but it's livable.
As far as people, there is an elite group of people who have not only just singled themselves out by playing this game way too much but also by joining a clan called "InnerCircle" (sounds like a gay joke...), there is a middle class of decent, hard working gamers, and then as with most MMO style games... the beggars.
The Rhiannon "melting pot" is a tricky bundle of joy but learn your way around the good, the bad, and the ugly, and you'll find it's a really cool world to play on.
Forecast for today is mostly cloudy with scattered thunderstorms. As we approach midday we will see some of these storms start to develop a bit more and they could begin swing Northeast which could cause them to miss us altogether. I'd bring something thick enough that you can rock in the rain, but small enough to toss it to the side or carry it if/when it clears up. Hehe
Hope that answers your questions effectively.
Peace!
