Yep, thats what players that have been playing but are just making a new character will do.

Or to make sure the newbs do the tutorial you could make it so they cant leave until they are done with it.... :roll:

It obviously needs to be optional, the way RO's was. So players can decide if they need it or not.

So what does the systems coordinator actually do? My job is to take your ideas for TMW and build them into working aspects of gameplay that can be implemented by the artists and programmers. If there's anything you think we can do better or differently, let me know.

If its optionail some newb's might not do it and then you have them going around asking questions that could have been solved...i guess thats why they have us there to help them though right? :P

to solve that problem, we can make a Mr.Tip npc for like... 10 GP every tip.
Ofcourse IF we do make 1, itl be in probably every town and major landmark.

I think that the tutorials should be optional. If nOObs choose the skip it thats fine. If they then decide to make a thread asking for help than delete it. If the have an IQ over 48 they'd probaly try the tutorial afterwards. If not, they'll have to figure out how to play the game on there own.

This is what i think, when people start off, they appear in newbie zone, if they skip, there will be mr.Tip... If needed they can go to the game website and look up controlls and so on?

That's good. If they turn down help, it's their own fault. They can't say we didn't try to teach them how to play.

Here's why people are having a hard time finding the readme.

It's not in .txt format on winblows puters it shows up as not having any file type.

That's because you sneakily navigated to it using your Explorer. When you'd actually just click the readme menu item in your start menu, it'd launch in notepad just fine I think. Maybe we shouldn't add a desktop shortcut so that people would actually use their start menu and notice the readme item.

Start menu? What's that?

Seriously, I never use that thing.

Or just add a shortcut to the readme/manual whatever on the desktop that way noone can say they didn't see it.

Maybe a link to a readme on desktop would be too generic... :roll:
