Re: Easing the process for new players.

I thought it was a good tutorial, overall. In a few places the dialogue felt patronizing, especially in the two shops. A few times I felt held back by the slow pacing of the tutorial, especially right at the beginning and end. On the other hand, the librarian's speech went by rather fast, and having lagged out for a few seconds at the beginning, it was difficult to catch up because the flash client kept wanting to jump back to the end although I was trying to scroll up. I felt like the history was conveyed a bit repetitively, especially given the big chunk the librarian does - it doesn't really need to be repeated multiple times in one tutorial.

I think that you should either walk players through guild selection, or drop them in the game and leave selection until later. It felt like that was a fence to climb before entering the world.
