Welcome to PIMD, To get started you should check out some of the threads in the strategy/Guide sections of forums This guide explains how to get started, upgrade, and make money check it out first. Also consider joining a club, in a club you can make friends, participate in parties, and war. Since you are just starting, I would recommend that you party as this is the fastest way to make money until you can get max plunder (explained in link.) Also, consider taking a look at the Rules of Conduct (RoC) and the Terms of Use (ToU) to avoid being silenced and potentially banned for breaking the rules. If you need further help, feel free to ask.
