You're at a tad bit disadvantaged since you're starting as a goblin, in a small outpost that is far away from the 'central' area of the MUD that contains the most newbie-friends materials. Alas, the Goblin Outpost is rather sparse on food, but if you head towards Galadon and the other more major cities, you'll find a surplus of both lowbie npcs to fight, gear, food, and more.


I think the Goblin Outpost currently lacks an entrance into the Academy, but I'll put up a request for that now.


Feel free to toss out any other questions you have, otherwise I suggest heavy use of the newbie channel in game.

Good luck!
