Nope.

While things weren't quite as confusing as I made them out to be, there were many, many times I was left wondering how to do something. I mean, there is absolutely no indication that you can click on your GUI to access an important menu. And seeing as I had no interest in the shop, I had no desire to even look there because why would important things be in the shop? Things just need to be more obvious. Era has a very small, unobtrusive button in the corner of the screen that makes it kind of obvious that it's for options, making it very easy to find. Nothing on Zone is easy.

I agree. Zone is not easy to understand and we really do need a tutorial world.
Important things should not be in the shop. They need to be, like you said, where you can see them.
Zone isn't user friendly and that needs to change.

One problem: people don't do tutorials. One might be better off by selectively displaying information as the player progresses.

Yes but if you have a tutorial, some players might take advantage of it to learn some basic things. I think it is worth a try.
The tutorial guide already displays information as the player progresses, but it never displays how to turn itself (The guide) off.

Haha nice story.

Yeah, Zone is a mess. It felt much more simple when Stefan and co (I think Jagen and some GST's helped?) had revived it.

If you've played other servers, than you should know "unstick me" lol.

Oh and Era has mean people lol. I've tried playing it, everytime I went out the hospital, the 1st 2 seconds Im there, I die. Defencelessly.

All servers have mean people. I never claimed otherwise, I even posted so afterwards about how all servers are pretty newbie unfriendly.

As for the unstick me, there is a tidbit at the end of the original post... though I should mention that unstick me tends to not be documented ANYWHERE on Graal.

You don't understand...

Zone is Graal's current flagship server. It has to be near perfect, it can't be confusing or else it will kill off potential players. This is Graal though, so sadly perfection is a goal best left under our beds.

i agree, i think its the best server for a NEW pleyer to play at, since you can save your freaking progress, buy a few things.. and of course THERE IS NO OBSERVER MODE!!!!!

Nat is a staff and yet she ignored a distress signal. wow :P
