Newbs don't read Runestones.

[Nogetsu]

I have incountered a problem with the construction of the Tutorial Isle at Novigard. Dispite the large amounts of Runestones in the area, nearly all the Newbs that had spawned there just walk past them and wonder the area getting lost, bored and starved before quitting or such. Those that I stop and ask if they want some help I ask if they had read any of the runestones. They each say no. Or 'Whats a Runestone'...

What I would love is a way to either make them stand out as something to click on and look at...

Or for a Pop Up to appear when they Spawn at the Charter Stone which I can have read, "Right Click the Runestones you Come across to learn how to Play...

Or something like that...

Simple: make wooden signs. Everyone is familiar with those, from RPGs or games like Zelda.

Huh??? Missed the reference... And Point...

Yeah that might help if they existed. I think I would look at one of those if I saw it instead of a Runestone. But seriously, you start the game and see a lot of these things, wouldn't you try clicking it???

Block their path with runestones. Then they have to try clicking on them.

Make an alt who just spams shouting "Right click the runestones!"

And how would they get past... Its still on Village grounds cause of the aura that a Charter stone emits ...

Would be great if I had the ability to do so...

thats true... ive met a newbie recently and he didnt know how to interact with a runestone. didnt even care, it seemed...

/edit
but if theyre SO NOT curious, they deserve to drown.

first thing i did when i was new was reading runestones.
unfortunately, i started in brodgar and they said north,e,w,s, and "faggot".
then, i got lost like everybody else and quit the game for 2 weeks -.-

starting in towns generally shouldn't be possibe, only fast-traveling to them.
there's no point to starting in a town.
