Whatever people think newbies need to know.  What would you have liked as a newbie?  The only thing it shouldn't be is really really long or exhaustive.  It'd be nice if it had answers to "what should I do now?" that true newbies need, but not so long it makes them recoil and say "maybe I'll go play Xbox instead".

In that case - I think I'll go on with the path that I've started because people can always look at the [http://lusternia.com/newbieguide.php New Player Guide] which I've linked.
In no particular order:
-Ways to connecting to Lusternia (covering clients, nexus, port # and such information)
-Creating your First Character (Portal of Fate, advantages, link to playerorg page)
-Welcome to Lusternia Proper (who a new user can get help from, how to access help files)
-An introduction to each College (quick blurb on the colleges, which city they belong to, and the scrolls within the colleges)
-Skills (how to learn, why to learn what your guild suggests)
-Suggested Equipment (what should be bought, for 2k or less)
-Newbie Hunting, Influencing and Questing (covering the concepts of hunting, influencing and questing, and citing the existing pages)
-Note on Gods, City Leaders and Guild Leaders (who to not anger)
-Suggested Reading (organized according to topic)
So basically an advanced version of HELP WHATNOW. I figure by the time they get to Guild novicehood they should have a decent idea as to the world and someone will likely have taken them under their wing.

Should this include: the journey through the Portal of Fate, the collegium, and life as a novice within a guild/being rogue?

Who knows?

Whatever people think newbies need to know. What would you have liked as a newbie? The only thing it shouldn't be is really really long or exhaustive.
