So I started playing about a week ago and have sunk about two days in. Me and my friend are loving the game and bought the membership, I can’t put it down and I can’t figure out why which is heard is one of the many charms of this game. But I just wonder how this all works? I watch videos trying to learn things or read subreddit posts’ comment sections and everything seems like gibberish to me- people talking about things I’ve never heard of with crazy names, etc., meanwhile I’m making cakes for a king, solving a murder mystery, and other mundane stuff. Is this how this is supposed to work? Things just ramp up from here and I learn along the way?

Do what you find fun! Don't worry about following the path other people set out for you. There are ways to progress through the game more quickly, but it's more important you don't lose sight of actually enjoying yourself. Take things one step at a time.

Edit: You'll eventually find something that you want to make your goal. It might be small or absurdly grandiose, but it'll be something to work toward. When that happens, the wiki is your friend.

I can't stress what you say enough! There's tons of content in the game which can seem overwhelming, but there will always be a guide or voice to help you along the way whether that's the wiki, video or other players.

I'd honestly say just wander round and see what inspires you, and if not, quests are always a sure fire way to give you an easy goal. Gl fam 😁
