1. i would keep the account maybe you will hate epic and go back to freedom(if you plan to sell the acc) 2. i would say start in a home server mrh(desertion) or jkh(serenity) probably the best ones. Then join elevation when you can fight and have a deed that will take you in. 3. if you mean buying a deed you could but on elevation you would prob be raided if you don't have friends near by to help. 4. i manage 1-2 hours every day sometimes more but the raids/fights do last longer but they are not every day. If you don't have a mic spend a bit on that also cause most villages use teamspeak or ventrilo during fights.
