I am just going to slide in even if I am not a newbie I still enjoy throwing things out in the air.
I can't say I had a large problem due to I think I knew what was going on more compared to newer players since I was around the lore and site before it really did open up and when I did have a large question chat was always around filled with founders.
How To Move Around - Traveling ICThis is still a big one for me. The travel mile chat Dusk made or is making still does not help me. It's one of the main reasons I stick to a city and don't let go since the wild areas and travel overall seems rather filled with danger.
I never know if you want a thread(s) in the wild area of the subforum or just point A to point B yet the travel seems to take all season so you need a few threads or the player feels useless and just wasted 80 or so days. Would like clearer rules laid out and the fact people could hire npc guides so they don't have to go alone.
Geography - Where everything is?While we have a few good maps I wish we had a grid style one and a distance idea sent in blocks along with the main travel routes that are safe. Along with where the watchtowers are in the map.
Other - Be Specific In Your Post.Just throwing this out in the wind. I think the hardest part is finding people to really get to know and enjoy a thread with. (Before anyone throws the "People are always looking for open thread speech") As when you are brand new I think they are more shyer to go out of the happy safe bubble they have and mod quests are not as common or filled with some type of danger. Or the new players do something wrong and leave.
Open thread advertising we could use more or set it up in different cities that might help let new players its okay to get your toes wet.
