Hello,
Just bought the game on the sale going on when all my friends started posting the screenshots of their characters and thought it looked great so i decided to try it out! love it.
Welcome to the game and to the forum. 
Ah, we caught another one, splendid …splendid.
Welcome to the fold.
Is it just me, or are there a lot of new players atm?
Yes, lots of people seem to be giving it a go atm. I assume because of Steam’s summer sale.
Welcome from another newbie
