Talk:NewbieGuide

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. 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 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.
