up with you!
I had first hand experience with how bad newbie island is... got a friend to try the game out, and i saw him a week later. He had deleted the game off his hard drive and said he would never play it again. When i asked him why, he said that there was nothing explaining things too him.. it took him 2 hours to find brandon thorn, because he had no idea what an npc looked like, he finally figured out how to use flingshot after poking around for a while after he got his guns... there was nothing to tell him what to do, and the current setup lets people meander off and never get caught by an npc that can help explain things to them. Fix newbie island... cause he is playing City of Heros now, and Funcom lost a potential paying customer.
So why not my other name too then, I want it back! NOW!
Dramatic Bump!!!
What other name?

So many times thru this thread have we seen this happen. Wish FC would figure this out and do something.
Bumpage for a response one way or the other.
Omg.. so much time passed and no official responce from FC. I am worried, maybe we need to buy new glasses for FC's customers service to finally read the forums.
As a software developer IRL, I agree that this is more interesting to create new functionality (like raid interface) then change old somehow-working one. But.. we have a problem here! If NI remains the same, people will leave AO quicker then they come. And such a beautiful raid interface will remain unused.

Enormous bank-sell. You ask it - I have it. (most probably)
Ubah bump!

I find it rather easy to portray a businessman. Being bland, rather cruel and incompetent comes naturally to me.

This thread must be dying, I posted in it.

*Bump*
I posted this a while ago in this thread, but I guess I'll say it again:
At the very least -- even if FC doesn't put back all the great things from before (Arrival Hall, etc) -- at the very least, please put back the nurse that tells you to go talk to Brandon Thorn, and where to find him. Too many people don't know that when they land on the island now, and miss a very important part of getting started.
The Arrival Hall, the crash, and so on, were still part of the experience when I started my first character. Since then I've created alts, and each time have been really happy that, because of previous experience, I know what to do.
Putting new people on the beach, without the Arrival Hall experience and without the nurse to tell you where to go for your first steps, makes it much harder and much more confusing.

If FC fixes nothing else, they should fix this. Bump.
I liked Newb Island when it first came out. Something different than the old BYs, though, I liked those to. I really liked the landing sequence, but, the things with newb Island was that the bosses were being camped around the clock. I think thats why they dropped the loot tables to the crumbs that are on them now. Absolutely, they can do a bit more with the place, and.... Yes, the loot was very nice. Especially the aliens. I'd like to see that come back, and... more quests! Double yes to giving more newb explanations in the form of quests;
- Prof Quests: Something which explains one's chosen prof. Give the nano package as a reward
- Weapon Quest: rather than have the back pack guy give you the upgrade in the manner he does... tweak the quest! Have it explain a bit more and, be weapon specific.
- Alien Kill quest: There are all those aliens running about... how about a quest which explains the Aliens a bit and, has you hunt some down.
With the new raid interface, and the new graphics coming, it really does seem like the island could accommodate some real nice tweaks. I'm not advocating a return to what was, but a POSITIVE boost to what is. The old loot was a nice touch. The camping was a pain.
In Mother Russia, you don't bump the thread; the thread bumps you!
