Depends on what you like doing. Attacking neighbors may or may not
work well at this stage, but you certainly can get a castle to call
your own and territory to grow in. In fact, some alliances are giving
pre-built castles away to new members.

The AOO has the strongest mages, many of the nicest items, and have
cleaned out a bunch of "inner locations" which hold monsters and nice
items. They also have the only castles in Faery, which is the
superhighway to the world. Since most inner locations are taken,
you'll have a hard time even getting an elfstone to use faery. But,
you can still breed lots of dragons (albeit a bit slower than when the
AOO did their breeding) and raise an army. And train new mages...
