I suggest that when someone creates a new account, the account get sent a message with tips for newbies.

this will reduce the number of people asking questions on the chat and in the forum, thus reduce the workload a little on you (the staff).

This would also probably increase the number of players who STAY with the game.. if they know what they are doing they are more likely to stay.

actually the thing that would reduce the number of people who leave cant be changed there are a lot of people who act like jerks in chat when some one asks a question and give the people crab and they are often the more outspoken voices heard, so the over all impression with the game is most of the players are jerks, and it is not uncommon for the guides to be busy either already talking to some one, paying attention to their game, or getting spammed by the butt kissers (lets face it if the guides were teachers they would have a lot of apples on their desks), and so immediatly the new players decided not to waste time on this game. what annoys me about this is i have left the game for several months and come back 3 or 4 times, and a lot of the people giving the new players a hard time were people that i have helped or seen other people help a couple months earlier, and so they miss treat people the same way they were miss treated, and so it creates a whole new generation of elitest jerks. also the word manual is one word out of many words on the screen and sometimes it helps just to be told that there is a manuel which is done in UC, but not in GC, and i think there needs to be a mention of that when you first creat a GC account just saying "hey you there is something that can assist you right here"

hmmm wouldnt it work much easier with the old system where the players could see the what guides are on etc, so instead of wasting time in the manual and going Oh this is SO BORing, they`ll pm a guide and they`ll know who to pm, then they`ll go HEY theres nice people who actually HELP out on this game

its got my support it willl be a good idea for an automatic system based message to give them basic info and link to the manual and the walkthrough

This idea has merit. I agree with bomocho that it will not reduce newb questions in chat, but it could increase the number of players who STAY with the game.
B bomocho
yes but there is a walkthrough that was supposed to cover the basics, and even some fighting tips, buuut.... they still ask questions that are answered there, and obviously a lot that are in the manual. even if they did read it, there is no escaping the newbie question!
A AndoverOP
yeah but do all the newbieies look at it? the answer is no (if you were wondering)

The point of this is so they will know what to do once they create their account and instread of complaining they will play
R RecklessFire
Thats what the manual is for...
