I sat down today and did something i haven't seen done on here (point me to it if you have) which is browse through the server list, picking servers, making a lvl 1 barb warrior and noting what you get/where you land when you start the character.
This will help new players in a few ways. I have listed, in order, where you land, zonewise.. If there is a server greeter/info NPC to help you get started.. What the stated exp modifier is.. what items you start with, if #zone is useable, and any other important info. Things to note: If there is vendors etc in another zone (say POK) but it wasnt noted on the greeter/motd then I didnt go looking. Someone new to the server would not either. (thing to think about GM/server admins!) Char was NOT leveled. Was a login, see what you get/what NPC's are around/what is on offer, log out thing. I typed #zone poknowledge or guildlobby to test #zone usability. Standard means 1 bag, food and drink, lantern and the starter weapon.
