To enable new players to have a smooth start into the game is probably one of the most important concerns. One aspect of it can be great guides. On the wiki we have a set of guide pages representing locations new players of Planet Calypso (and consequently Monria) have to pass or are recommended to visit - the Planet Calypso beginners flow: Genesis Crystalline Cavern Calypso Gateway Camp Icarus (Monria players go to Monria Hub from Caly Gateway) Port Atlantis (optional) So far these guides have been viewed ~116000 times, 10+ people have actively contributed to them. They are still not perfect (although the Caly Gateway page is quite cool already ), and especially the Camp Icarus page has little to no info so far. So... this is a call for more contributions, especially to the Camp Icarus page, and a tentative inquiry whether there would any interest in creating something similar for other planets too.
always a problem with newcomer guides. Lots of reads by newcomers,. but the people who should update them are the low end players. They are afraid of everything at that time and will never touch your pages. The older players that know to make changes never go near the newcomer stuff so never think the change it. What we need is an older player with an alt playing newcomer to find and make changes and additions. ahhhh but well that has its own problem. I routinely (with permission of my game) become a new player and update my starter pages.
It would be great if it was extended with the Half Moon bay missions etc. If you go to half moon bay there is a bunch of missions one can start there and then continue following the road south.
Definitely. But as of the June content release: So let's get Camp Icarus done first. In that content release missions and other stuff at and around Camp Icarus has been updated too. Actually there are many veterans interested in helping new players. And doesn't necessarily need an alt account since most of the new player mission are new and can be played by veterans too. And I would encourage everyone who hasn't done it yet to enter Crystalline Cavern and play the tutorial missions chain and also the new missions in and around Camp Icarus. They are rather story-driven and the Caly Gateway mission would even result in a profit.
