A city for newbies

[Crador]

If you need tutorials, then "sandbox gaming style" is't for you. Try out tons of other "non-sandbox linear MMO's", like WoW, AoC, WAR, etc, nameit with tutorials, guides, newbie islands, mentor systems. Not a personal offence, just advice.

Current system of sandbox game without specific aims/quests with external information sources (wiki, forum) encourages player to THINK, ACT, ASSOCIATE.
Mentor\Newbie city (been playing later ages of UO?) system encorages player to follow someones lead from A to Z.
If you really want someone to teach you - join any of existing major villages. Ask for group on forums. If you don't want to do it yourself and asks Devs to do it for you - then again, sandbox gaming is't for you.

P.S. Personally i don't like idea of "synthetic" newbie helping tools because we'v been through that already. Newbie City -> NPC Guards for it -> [Young] status making unable to PK newbie -> Item Insurance -> Second "world" of PvE only. Thus, game goes dead theme park.

Also, learning how to play the game is easy enough. You pretty much learn as you go.

Got killed by an animal? Don't let it get you down, at least you learned to avoid them.

Found out that your neighbor is a murderer and he killed you? Well, at least now you know to avoid him.

The thing is, sandbox games aren't supposed to be easy. No NPCs to teach you how to do this and that, the point of a sandbox game is to enjoy learning the game by yourself.

And the point of this specific sandbox game is to get newbies to rant on the forum about how they got killed for sweet, sweet drama.
