New Player Guide revised
Posted: Thu Jun 20, 2013 8:12 pm
Hail!
So I'm a fairly new player here and I absolutely love the shard. After playing for for a bit, and reading a lot, I've determined a fair amount about how to get started. However, when I was beginning I found the new player guide on the wiki slightly lacking for updated information, a somewhat linear flow, and a full breadth of the excellent features and options a new player has here. I have read extensively though the wiki and forums, and I did my best to bring that information together in the New Player Guide while keeping what had already been there and re-organizing it. It is not completed but I have worked extensively on it and I think that anyone who reads it when they're about to play for the first time will be well-informed and able to easily locate what information they're interested in learning about.
I tend to be wordy, so it doesn't lack for word count, but from an information and structural standpoint I'm pretty happy with it. I'd love to hear any feedback, if anyone has the patience to read through it all, and hopefully players just starting who might not have a good idea of what to do can use that as more of a full-featured jumping off point than it has been in the past. I enjoy the shard and wanted to do something to contribute to its well-being, so I hope the general response is positive, but let me know if you think it sucks too.
Fare thee well,
Yanni
