I think this is a great idea. When I first started, I spent maybe hour or so just reading help files and it help that I have experience playing on MUD. But for someone who is either new to MUD or have little experience will be turned off with little to lacking interactive tutorials or similar.

As for races, since new players will be of various of races so humans might be best as they are most tolerated to diversity of races compared to other races.

For setting, I know this might be cliche but some kind of island and after complete the tutorial sail to the main land?

Oh, one big thing that always catch me when playing casters is different keyword to prepare spells, like pray for cleric, adjure for ranger, memorize for wizard, etc. Should be some class-specific tutorials which help with class only abilities. Such as call companion for ranger/druid, prepare spells for each spell caster class, etc.

Edit 11/22/2013: Added idea

I had no MUD experience before this mud. I really had no clue what i was doing before I started playing. I believe there should be a tutorial zone possibly. I don’t know really about code or anything, but a zone would be nice that newbies could teleport to with characters that say how to do different things. I cool idea would be almost like a classroom setting with a “teacher” that you can ask questions and the teacher will explain it to you. Again i don’t really know the amount of code that goes into making a zones or anything but this seems like a good idea.

Thanks for helping me with all of my questions
