Posted May 25, 2015 now that there is people officially regulating the wiki,something that bothered me for a long time its when i see people sending new players to the beginer tutorials section knowing that most tutorials there were made betwen 2010 and 2012. http://www.wurmpedia.com/index.php/Tutorials in my opinion what the wiki needs most its some kind of removal process for outdated and obsolete content. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 25, 2015 Or how about some updated tutorials? Specifically short videos that showcase beginning player experiences. Be sure to let us know if you post such content and tag it with the #WurmOnline hashtag. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 25, 2015 Videos have been mentioned to me on a few occasions, which is a great idea BTW, and I've always thought that the tutorials need some love and updating. Definitely items on our agenda. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 25, 2015 How about a section that reposts all the sections of the tutorial for future reference. All those pop up boards available to re read. Even a video of someone completeting the tutorial. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 25, 2015 Videos have been mentioned to me on a few occasions, which is a great idea BTW, and I've always thought that the tutorials need some love and updating. Definitely items on our agenda.I would definitely want to see written tutorials, too. I really hate videos that try to convey information, for information that does not need video. Or worse, where video is completely inapplicable (e.g. programming). Being unable to skim through a video (rebuffering, chance of missing important parts) like through text has always been an inconvenience for me, when there was no other source. Also, if done casually, people tend to convey little information for a long time talking. Even though some people still prefer video over reading, so having both is great, I think. I also would imagine that it's pretty hard to make a "new player tutorial" that is NOT highly subjective and opinion based. What a new players should do, or needs to do, or look for, and so on. It's quite a responsibility if you think about it. If that tutorial gets read/watched/listened to by a lot of people, it will make an impression and form or change people's opinions about the game when being told to having to do certain things based on the author's/creator's opinion.

Posted May 25, 2015 (edited) I think the Factional Fight tutorials do it well. Each covers one subject in an entertaining way with Faeran being the newbie and Griphyth the teacher.
