Create a tutorial map that properly teaches the new aspects of the game

[TelFiRE 9]

I have to say that the way you put 10 huge pages of info (one of which is actually too long and just gets cut off with no way to read lol) immediately when you first join the game, and then never show them again (even connecting to a new server) is definitely not a good enough way to introduce people to an MMO.

Based on the way this game is constructed, and you can spawn in so many different spots, I think the best way to go about it might be to make a tutorial island map rather than having it occur on the actual server. A small single player area where you teach people the basics in the form of guided gameplay rather than walls of text.

Instead of presenting a ton of information at once, explain one thing, then make the player do something that acknowledges that.

A single player offline 1 grid map would be great.
