Cool, dude.

I, too, am going to try Nations out one day. I just started roleplaying- other than RuneScape and learning katana, shadow hunter and velvet blade stuff I need atleast a few years of roleplaying before I delve into what officer I can make of myself.

All I know to reach nations I must start out a barbarian to reach some sort of paladin or I join a group of adventurers and work it from there into a fighter class that got into an army and campaign myself into a knight commander. 
I have to do that roleplaying in person.

Goodluck and welcome!
