I got a shit ton of ideas, but i won't blow up the forums with them.
one would be a Pop up "tips" or something style window, similar to many programs like microsoft word or something.
when you log in, you have a window with a random tip.
with a next button, or a do not display again.
random Tips for things like.. Search for Jill in merc camp to train any skill. or a tip of where to get the spell book or check the loser on brit bank to how to get to merc camp. Or where to get armor, or how to train this how to train that skill in merc camp.
Mainly to make it easy for new players.
How many times you see someone asking a simple question.
People are lazy, they arn't gonna browse the webpage or forums, they wanna log in and play.
Make the game for user Friendly in a sense.
Might help attract someone enough to keep them interest long enough in the server to keep playing.
Maybe even Add a few tips for advanced players, oh there might be a quest here n there, or this dungeon or spot or area might have a good monster try and find it, subtle tips like that.
Sphere .51a has that tip window auto set up you can enable to disable, not sure abouy runuo, but i never experienced any bugs with it crashing people or anything...
Half the people coming here are probably new... or from another server.. and ever other server iv played, they have in game windows and help andtips and advice and blahblah so forth to help get new people started.
Every server's different and well face it, UO isn't exactly the easiest game to learn and love right off the start...
some new guy could come here try a tour and get waxed....
cause he has no clue about the new .use commands or something simple like that...
well maybe a little Tip window might make it easier for people to learn more about the ways of the server... kinda thing
the .c chat system is awesome, but hate to see it bombarded with simple questions,
even questions about. where can i buy this or that..
check the Vendor section on the webpage for certain items ya know...
so many thins you could do with it to eliminate basic questions..or confusion.
