No need to be intimidated! Even the smallest of builds will contribute to the awesomeness of the server. Everything starts small. Even a little hole in the ground might have a story that needs to be told.
Very nice walk through, I was lucky enough to have been given a guided tour of "That Place" which is apparently one of the key locations on the server. I also explored a lot of the other locations on my own. I have been on and off since the server started, and have yet to build anything as grand as the builds featured in this article and the other things I have seen server side, but it's early yet, and there is time to do much before Tarmon Gai'don.
