abstract	--posted on March 16, 2009 at 07:46:20 AM-- For today we've decided to discuss our newbie area in Earthrise. This is one of the first things players will see, and we thought you all would be a bit curious to find out how it works. Today's question is ... What can you tell us about the newbie/starter experience in Earthrise? Although we can have multiple characters, will every single character go through the same "starter" experience, and will there be ways to opt out of it? When we designed the starting location in Earthrise, we strayed quite a bit from the cliches in the MMO genre many of you are familiar with. Instead of providing the players with few or no options for their progress through the storyline and character development, we decided to offer the player great freedom of choice. As the player character arrives in the world of Earthrise, he or she will be able to go through the whole process of accommodation to his new body, and learning how to adapt to the new world surrounding him. Everything in the starting location will be determined by the direct actions and choices of the player. This includes choosing not to go through the process of initial adaptation - yes, you can skip the tutorial zone almost completely, or complete it partially if you like. Any task in the starting location will give a bountiful reward to the players, though and so we actually recommend going through it - but you don't have to. The choice is left to the players completely. The players will not be forced to choose any side in the conflict between Continoma and Noir immediately. We will introduce both factions to the player and you will be able to choose between the two major political players or walk the third path of neutrality as you start your adventures. When you reach the end of the starter area with your first character, you may be surprised what is in store for you as you fully experience Earthrise for the first time. ~ m.
