Exactly what i was thinking as i read through this. Also what Dunn had said.

Its good that MA recognise that new players need looking after especially in the first few moments of exsistance in Entropia, but paying someone(s) to stand there all day (24/7?) just seems to me over the top.

First move the new player landing site away from Port Atlantis. Its a terrible place for a new player to start their life in Entropia (Atlas Haven or Troy would be better).

Second have some sort of tutorial film with some breif explanation of what to do, what to expect, what to avoid, who can help.

Third, create some sort of mentor list in game (in soc terminal maybe?). Something where mentors can get rated, somewhere where mentors can advertise for disciples, somewhere where new players can find help.

But please, please, please move the landing site from Port Atlantis. First impressions are very important
