Disagree.

Unless there is a dedicated space for "learning how ECC works" that requires some sort of test to leave, an in-game guidebook just adds another source of information that new players already have access to. We already have a website with tutorials, a Wiki page, the wall that you face in Spawn and the "/rules" command in game. If a new player wanders into ECC and, after having at least 4 sources from which to learn the basics, completely ignore everything and ask "how do I make money"...then their lack of wisdom ("Wisdom" is the practical use of intelligence) shows everyone that they want to just be babysat / led by the hand.

I think, personally, if they can follow the directions to BUY the game, then they have shown that they have the tools and experience to "google it" first. Now, if someone needs a reminder on how to do a specific command, that's different.

 

Ditto.

 

Voted Yes to even out the votes ;)

 

My point is that anyone that needs a FIFTH place to get the same information needs to use the first 4 places (2 of which are in game)

Why doesn't Andrew just add a donation option to have an experienced player come to your house, install the game for you, then stand behind you and answer any questions you might have while playing... maybe even take over for you when you need to visit the bathroom...

Really, how much hand-holding does a new player need?

(Side Note: in the above statements, "you" is not meant to represent v6ud, rather a generic individual *grin*)

 

Pay someone to hold my hand while I use the bathroom and play minecraft simultaneously ..,. I'm totally interested.

 

Lolwut. I read the thread, thinking hmm its a decent idea came down here and RAAAAAAAAAAGGGEEE is everywhere. XD

 

IKR XD
