I have been thinking about the same thing.

 

This is a good idea, I like it, may I suggest having the tutorial area underneath spawn? Layers 10-40? There's no wrong answers when suggesting a suggestion in a suggestion right? /confuserightnow
And maybe a portal at the end to teleport them to real spawn?

 

Ya i agree

I was thinking of suggesting a tutorial island or something like this.

 

My only problem with spawns on servers that have this information is that is encourages users to not look at the Wiki or Forums at all. By not looking at the Wiki and Forums, you will not catch updates, and there will be even more questions later in-game that could be harder to answer. Users also would become too lazy to look at the Wiki for applications such as Resident applications... Or general information that would require tons of signs.

Having tons of signs, even if sorted into subject-room, can be hard to read with many players around, and chat would be distracting. And with all the information we have about the server and commands, you'd need many, many rooms, and that would be overwhelming to a new user. Or, you'd have fewer rooms, with millions of signs, which is just as overwhelming.

This is partly personal opinion, and partly by going off what I've seen on other servers. I really would rather a user be encouraged to view the Wiki and Forums, and have time to not be overwhelmed with all the activity of a large server. Give them time to read things - If they don't want to go the Wiki or Forum, that is their fault. :/ I do want more users, but overwhelming them with tons of rooms, portals, and/or signs won't work, either.

 

hmm maybe we can make designs for a tutorial and then vote for them?

 

I think a small basic tutorial room is fine but if they want to know more then they should go to the wiki/forums.

 

This thread seems to be a reincarnerated version of this thread.

 

Lost, that thread was like 3 MONTHS ago...

 

Reincarnerated means reborn...
