NPC in each town that points/links them to these forums

[Physiologic]

I think a new NPC should be implemented in every towne (like the towne crier) that directly links them to the forums and explains how useful the forums are. There is a WEALTH of knowledge on the forums and quite a collaborate and active community as well. The majority of players unfortunately dont even know a forum exists, nor where to find it (since they just download off the apple store or Droid market and dive right into the game). With easy access to the forums, new players can easily find information they need without crying for help in-game. An npc that provides such information would also be more fun than lets say, just a block of text in the start screen, since new players always like to talk to npcs.

Thank you for your time.

The only current direct link to forums is through this small box at the starting screen. New players don't really care about a small box with an envelope on it, they want to touch the huge ENTER WORLD button:


"Offer feedback" must be tapped...


Then FINALLY you get to the forum link...but a new player has no idea what a forum has other than to "offer feedback."


The change:

Here's the new forum NPC in action (found in every towne):


Forum NPC Tip of the Day example. This is randomly generated whenever the new player taps on the NPC:


Forum NPC Tip of the Day example 2 (slightly more advanced tips):

It'd even be good in the character selection screen, by the Tapjoy button. Countless times I could and have referred them to forums, would be easier if they knew where it was and how to find it in the first place

Thats the problem - as a new player, would you want to click on a link from an envelope button when you first play, or would you tap the ENTER WORLD button?
