When you first spawn into the entrance of the Leaky Cauldron once leaving Professor Oak, you have a wand ticket, the guide, the list, cauldron cakes, berties botts, etc.
Here's what I think should be updated in that ::
The List - The list looks like a little slip of paper. It tells the new student that they need certain books and equipment for brewing. While this is a nice feature in the aspect of roleplay, it can end up confusing the new player. They read the list and end up spending longer than necessary in Diagon Ally and wander around, searching for everything on the list. I think the list should be altered or removed from the starter inventory.
The Guide - This really needs to be updated. It does somewhat help, but its more informing than guiding them through the steps. Sometimes when newbies spawn in, they read the guide and immediately think, "Oh, I need a broom." or "I need to get a pet!" When really, these are not required of them and can be purchased later on if they desire. I think the guide should be updated as soon as possible, and maybe have sections. There could be a section of How to Get Started and another Informatory section. The first section could explain how to go back to the wall and go into Diagon Ally. It could guide them into Flourish and Blotts to get their Spellbook and explain that that one is required of them and the other ones can be purchased if they will. The Informatory section could be things such as explaining how to play Exploding Snaps, how to ride a broom, how to make money, how to use floo and the floo words, etc.
Berties Botts (possibly) - Soo, this doesn't really have to be removed, but in some cases when the newbies are being guided by Helpers, they eat these and in some cases they may die. This can be a problem when they go to the Hospital Wing and then they get confused and us Helpers or a Staff member has to go get them, which can also cause us to lose them because they run off. This can be a bit of a hassle but then again, it's a rare occasion so it doesn't necessarily need to be changed.
Another thing that could be helpful for new players is possibly having a command that could display links to the tutorial videos. The links that could be displayed is the one of Fance teaching how to cast, the guide to the forbidden forest, how to earn money, etc. This would be easier so that they could have access to the links whenever they wanted and would be more convenient. There could also be a general link posted for the forum. (I'm not sure if this is already a thing but putting it in anyway :3)
I hope these ideas are put into consideration because it would be a great help. If needed and if these ideas are accepted, I'd be willing to help out with updating these things. <3
