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)
* Roleplaying (emoting, chatspeak, descriptions etc)
* Skills (how to learn, how to ask a tutor how far you are in a skill, link to skills page)
* Suggested Equipment (what should be bought, for 2k or less, how to search the aetherplex for a certain item, how to refill from keg using empty vials)
* Newbie Hunting, Influencing and Questing (covering the concepts of hunting, influencing and questing, and citing the existing pages)
* Miscellaneous commands (news system, messages)
* 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.
