I'm very happy and thankfull, the graphics are beautiful, the game mechanisms seem solid so far, and the server runs smoothly, even from Europe.
I would like though to express the point of view of someone who has never played Grimmwold and has never been part of your community before :
It was not easy, at first, to put together all the pieces of the puzzle concerning the "main plot" and how my characters could become involved. When i wrote my application, i had no idea what was going on, for the simple and good reason that, in fact, nothing is going on yet, at least on the main map, and we all are in a newbie area, so i felt a kind of "shift" between what i experience in game, and what my chars are supposed to be in theory ( I hope that makes sense, it's not easy to explain
). It's only after reading many more times all the pages of the web site and the forum, and more than all, receiving explanations on discord from you guys who are very helpful and patients, that i could (at least i hope 
) start to see the big picture.
So in conclusion, i don't know how many people are in my case (no previous experience of this community), but my advice for them would be : don't apply too fast, give yourself a week or two to understand the big picture, then you will have easier time to create characters who can find their place in the world. I'm sure that things will become easier for the newcomers as the game really starts and as they will be able to build their chars on the foundations of an already living game, especially if already playing characters "report" in the RP forum what they are living. I hope to become one of these "reporters", and that my posts will help some newcomers to find their place in this wonderful world populated with wonderful people
