I created this puppet account, and I've been playing around with ideas for how to make the new player experience clearer. The first thought that came to mind was how confusing it can be. When I first joined, all the things like "Boost Tokens" and "Gene Mod Treatment" made no sense to me. And maybe it is just me, but when I was a new player, I didn't find the FAQ until months after I had started playing. There's the problem, and the first solution that came to mind was a "tutorial". Simply, when you first make a new account and log in, if there was some sort of a pop-up explaining things like where you find your barns, pastures, and how to create horses. Something to essentially point out all of the basic functions on the site, and most importantly, to point out the FAQ. I think this could help explain what things on the sidebar meant, without being super complicated. (But then again, I am not a game-creator, this could be impossible to add at this point.) I just thought it would be nice for there to be something to point new players in the right direction to understand what things meant and how to find information.
