Arriving At The Dock From Tutorial Island

[AdultGamer]

If requested, i could add this to the wiki. That is, if it were a bit...simplified.....

?What simplifications do you recommend?

My Posting of this Game Guide in the Game Guide Forums is a Prototype for a Wikipedia Game Guide; thus, creating multiple URL Addresses for each Section in this Posting isn't feasible; especially, when I am trying to create a cohesive document without alot of unneeded repetition of certain Information.

Once this Game Guide Posting is complete, this Game Guide can be divided up into multiple Wikipedia Web Pages.

Without a Single Complete Game Guide Document, it would be very difficult in determining what Specific Topic Web Pages will be needed for the "New Arrivals From Tutorial" Game Guide; and, it will be very difficult in determining which URL Addresses should be linked together; and, it would be very difficult in determining the order that the URL Addresses should be linked together.

Wiki can hold multiple sections on a single page. Elements will auto-feed a table of content which will allow readers to click on the topic they want and be directed to the part of the page they want. The said table of content can be placed anywhere in the page, could be on top, above the content, or on the right, in a box.

15 AUGUST 2010--AUTHOR'S NOTES
--In recent Game Sessions, I have noticed a rise in the number of New Players not doing the Tutorial Island Quests before arriving at The Dock. This is of great concern to me. During my last Game Session, 2 New Players complimented my "New Arrivals From Tutorial Island" Game Guide. While doing the "--Blacksmithing Trainer" Section, I decided to create the "Tutorial Island Quest" Section. Originally, I had titled it "Tutorial Island" because my Game Guide doesn't talk about Tutorial Island except in passing; and, in the Document Titles. I was thinking that maybe because my Game Guide didn't mention Tutorial Island that some of the New Players were assuming that doing the Tutorial Island Quests wasn't required. While typing out "Tutorial Island" on my Non-Internet Activity Computer, I changed the title from "Tutorial Island" to "Tutorial Island Quests". Afterall, it is the Tutorial Island Quests that

Here is the thing, Stevanie. You are appealing to an audience which is not very large, very few people have such patience to read all this. Not even I have the willpower to read it, let alone even portions of it.

A target audience would be a simple-minded group, being very specific and exact, since the majority of players appear to be brutes.

For reference, I'll link my own guide, very simple, and covers all aspects.

In short, CUT OUT THE NONSENSE! Your readers just want some questions answered, not your whole experience. Therefore, if you were to talk about your own experience, it should be on a talk page, and not as a game guide.

Actually, the only problem I saw in the guide is that there was a heck of a lot of repitition. I mean, if you haven't figured out that you shouldn't leave the dock without 2 really small houses, a few skills, and a merchant, you didn't read a single paragraph in the guide.

Anyway, pointing out your own guide seems a bit redundant since both of these guides are already on the list of player guides on the wiki.

My last Author's Note Posting was abruptly interrupted because I had Real Life issues to deal with.

I have since learned that my Game Guide was on the Wiki.

I just got done doing some revisions to the Wiki Game Guide.

I am trying to cut down The Wiki Game Guide from 39 Kb to 32 Kb.

Repetition of the "Buy Merchant, Buy House, Learn Basic Skills" is based on the assumption that a Player will only read a certain section of the Game Guide; and, not the entire Game Guide.

Also, the Titling of the Game Guide Sections is meant for easy access to specific Topics for those who don't want to read the entire Game Guide.

I will be making future revisions to the Wiki Game Guide by shortening and simplifying it.

The Forums Game Guide is a different issue.

Thanks to whoever put my Game Guide on the GOLEMIZER Wikipedia.

I don't mind reading guides.
But when there exists a more simple guide, which doesn't require you to read a "read me" of some large game containing system requirements, I don't read those.

Sage's guide is extremely simple, You don't need to know any thing beyond what is on that guide. I mean
" http://wiki.golemizer.com/index.php?tit ... ial_Island " It's great that you took your time to make a guide for new people. But, it's a lot of reading, it's confusing, and I didn't read it.

I guarantee not one person had read every thing on your guide, I think if I read it, it might help me, that's if I were a newbie. My point is, short and simple, then it will be read, understood, and people will acknowledge.

On the contrary, I read everything on that guide. Course, I HAD to read everything on that guide to edit it properly for the wiki XD
