I was checking out some other muds recently, and they all have like a thing when your character first gets in the game where there are 'instructors' who will aid you with commands like talking, movement, combat etc. Maybe something similar could be implemented to the Hall of Kings? Just that you can point to the newbie place and from there, you can get help and then proceed to you starting town, just thinking this could lower the amount of newbs asking for help OOC during the game.

Yes or no?

This has come up before.  I summon Delirium the thread queen to find the previous threads detailing all the ways this wouldn't work for Armageddon.

I'm not sure this is really needed.
After all, you can always just drop a line to one of the Helpers and they'll give you all the information you'll need.

Yes, as stated, the Helpers have been organized for a reason.

Use us.

I have always been in favor of having not a "newbie land" but a place where players could go prior to their first application being approved (and perhaps after, actdually) with a standard character "the tall man, the tall woman and do things that one does in a city....and maybe even get instruction in the game.

To be truthful, though, when I was new to mudding I only went to the schools for initial skill boosts and not to learn anything, so I'm not really sure iif it would be used much.

There are plenty of help files that explain what commands there are and how they work.  http://www.armageddon.org/intro/quickstart.html mentions a few of them, and http://www.armageddon.org/help/index_frames.html has a complete listing of help files.

I always hated having to go through these, and usually just said screw it and left, I say if you do, make it an option, but at that, don't do it. I liked the harshness when I was a newb and played my longest lived char as a newb who was around 20 days and had been in two clans and a loner all in that time frame.
