I joined Second Life in 2008 when MOUL closed and I wanted to stay with the community, but wasn't interested in combat games. The first words I typed in local chat were "I hate this place." But I'm still there and love being able to create there. It's a steep learning curve just to get your avatar, learn to walk, talk, manage your inventory, teleport, etc. But, it's worth the investment in time and patience, IMO. There are some amazingly beautiful places to explore and interesting events to attend.
Once you've chosen your avatar (which you can change at any time later) and log in, you'll be in a safe place where you go through the steps to learn the basics to get around. Take your time here. Once you're comfortable, then you'll want to find friendly people to help you out and answer your questions.
There are hundreds of Uru community members there and multiple Myst/Uru groups, the most active one is probably D'ni Refugees. There are also many communities and groups with similar like-minded people (friendly, PG). I belong to one called Mieville which is steampunk based, but accepting of everyone. You can find either of these groups through the in-world Search and join them. Open up the chat and ask for help.
Extra tip: consider downloading the Firestorm Viewer. Not only is it better than the Linden default, but because so many people use it, it will be easier for them to assist you.
