@Hawkshield - hihi and welcome! you've come at a perfect time!
If your package includes alpha access, you'll see a link on the main Fractured website 'PLAY' tab as soon as things go live. Last time, the devs let folks into the character-creation page & city claiming a little early so they could have themselves ready to rock.
I'll bet they do that again, so watch forums for an announcement - @Prometheus @Specter & @Oxfurd are good accounts to 'follow' to make sure you don't miss that.
Meanwhile, you've got time to check out the wiki to learn about the various critters and the knowledge system, and catch up on some forum conversations. Allow me to recommend a couple of useful links to have bookmarked (with thanks and kudos to the amazing folks who are keeping those up for us!):
The Enchanter's Guide to Reagents & Their Powers
and
The Bestiary (So Far)
Our in-game book of knowledge doesn't have pix (yet) so if you kill a bunch of mobs you've never seen (e.g., several sorts of goblins or spiders) and want to learn their identifying marks and what they can teach you, the bestiary is invaluable.
Happy hunting, new friend
