Everybody gets the same questions all the time from newer players--"How do I trade? Where do I buy potions? How do I join a game? Where's the CS?". My suggestion is to put the Towne Crier to work. Hey! As it is now, that slacker is only working during the holidays! ;) Besides his normal announcements, add a button that says something like, "Hey! You look like you're new around here. Can I help you find something?" This would lead to a menu of questions like the above:
How do I join a game?
What and where is the CS?
Where can I buy potions?
How do I trade with someone?
How do I avoid scammers?
How do I join my friend?
What's the difference between a potion and an elixir?
Where can I get other questions about the game answered? -- this one could give the URL for the forums.
Each question would be a button that would link off to the answer. I'm sure most folks (like me) don't mind answering the questions, but it would give the newer people a resource for finding answers when there isn't a more experienced player available. I'm sure there are other questions, but these are the ones I run into the most often. Just a thought. :)
