HELPING NEW PLAYERS
DIFFERENT KINDS OF NEWBOD
Roughly speaking, new players to Fed2 fall into several different categories, and each category needs a different amount of help:
Returning players - old Fed players from classic Fed, AOL Fed or sometimes even earlier. Apart from a friendly welcome, all they need is to have the differences they will find in Fed2 explained.
Experienced MUD players - players who are familiar with online text games, but have never played Fed2 before. They will need a friendly welcome, help to get started, and an explanation of how Fed2 differs from other MUDs.
Complete Novices - players who haven't played a MUD before, so haven't a clue. We don't get too many of those as we did back on AOL, but they do sometimes appear. They need to be led by the hand through the basics.
Alts - current Fed2 players setting up an alternate character. They don't need any help at all.
