From A New Player perspective; 7th day on the server and back from live after CU....
1) Low Population Is #1 issue to a new player... lack of newbie gear on bazzar, any gear for that matter. My starter city on tat had 15 items on the bazzar, period. Possible cure: Setup up server run vendor in all starter cities. Shared Inventory so newbies have access to all no matter starter city. No expiry date so newbie gear doesn't disappear. Have a way for merchants to be able to add items with a limit of 10k sale price. 10 slots for Master artisan 5 for novice merch 10 for master merch. You get the idea here...
2) Sandbox Woes. What do I do?? Every sandbox style MMO has the same issue with new players. Not any easy fix but the race track gave me an idea... A mission giver that can only be ran 1 time. Something like below with a badge "Welcome to Awakening"...
Email received at first load in.
Hey you your new here right? I have something that needs to be done. Interested? (Gives waypoint)
1st Guy Pops a way point (like the race) to a brawler and marksman trainer with a voucher for a free weapon and novice in that class.
then gives a way point again like the race track to a mob spawn location with a goal to bring me 10 meatlump dog tags, or just take out.. what ever is easier to code...
Anyway you get the the idea I'm going for... after completion you get the badge and can't run again. Maybe even make a chain these..
Just this newbies thoughts
Which new features would you like to see on Awakening?
