'Tutorial Island' suggestions
Posted: Fri Jan 12, 2007 7:00 pm
Greetings fellow Illarionites,
I have (perhaps foolishly) volunteered to help organize the effort to make the tutorial island for newcomers a reality. I want to give you all a chance to help shape it.
What I need from you, if you so choose to give it, is a simple, concise list of what you think needs to be covered. By this I mean, how to use the basic speech commands (#w, #s, #me, #o), how to introduce yourself (#i) and when, the basic working of crafting, etc. We have a few such lists already, but it is quite possible you all can think of something I have not.
What I do not need is a long, detailed suggestion of how to make use of these lists. By this I mean, 'He goes to NPC A who says this, then goes and gets Item X, and brings it back to NPC A, who then sends him to NPC B...' and so on.
If you choose to respond to this, please do so in a private message to me, not here on the board. (In fact, if the forum moderators would be so kind, I would prefer to see this auto-locked.)
I may end up gathering a small group of responsible individuals to help organize all of this into a coherent 'script' for the coders to program in. If you would be interested in taking part in that, let me know, but keep in mind I do not even know for sure yet that I will be doing it, or how many people I will use if I do.
I thank you all for your time, and hopefully we can make this a reality soon.
