Dang! We haven't been able to pk you yet! We must be slipping.
Krystal usually initiates blues to the shard within a week at the most!
If you have a NEW tag above your head, TnT/Myth won't attack you, and if they have time, they may give you some stuff to help you get going. I routinely tame giant beetles and fire beetles for new siegers.
If you don't have a NEW tag, then you just got lucky.
I strongly support NEW, for this reason and because it gives you a month to train with a little bit of protection from full exposure to Siege. If you do join NEW, take advantage of the time to get to know members of several guilds. Siege is a lonely place without a strong guild.
