I havnt picked my starting place yet, cause im waiting for the faction leader to accept or decline me, is this a long time thing? what should i do in the mean time? IS there anything i can do in the mean time? thanks
Typically it occurs with 24 hours. I'd suggest reading through the Guide and the Rules (although I'm guessing you may have done some of that already). You can also get on IRC, if you are so inclined, and get to know some of the other people in the game. But be warned, some of them are a little... strange.
