As I am sure many people know, there is no tutorial for new users, all you get is a bit of a message from Builderman and you're sent off on your way. As of course many people were, I was not aware of many of the features of ROBLOX when I joined ROBLOX quite recently in 2013. As I went around on games I had no idea how to even change the look of my character. To add to this I had absolutely no understanding of how to do many things - on one of the first games I went on there were cars, and it said to get a car. This confused me, so I quit the game, went to models in the catalog and got two different cars. When I returned to the game they somehow (now obviously) didn't work. I left the game. This would be very advantageous to new players because it would give them a basic understanding of the game, and what to do in it. Of course, there are various tutorials on the ROBLOX website, but not for new players - you currently need to find the tutorial, and even then it may appear confusing and not for general use, more a specific aspect. I apologise if this is not your idea of a good suggestion, but I can not know if this is what you would think to do.

Ok, my posts are too boring for many people to bother to reply, but I think this would be beneficial to all ROBLOX players - not necessarily just the new ones because those playing with them (I am not trying to be offensive to new players) would not have to explain the basic rules of requested, and would be playing against more prepared players, albeit still 'noobs' as the term goes.

Theres already tutorials for ROBLOX, they are just not enough popular. Go see the favorites games of Builderman to get the proof.

The kids are too mindless to explore, instead they rather just stick to the games :)

I mentioned that there were tutorials, but they're not obvious enough to be noticeable, instead you'd simply go to one of the suggested games and possibly get very confused as you wander around mindlessly.

Mhm, mainly they would not read anything too long for they have such short attention span. So I don't really know how you're going to be able to catch their attention upon the tutorials. Unless they're dedicated which is rare.

I would not say all players have short attention spans, if the tutorials were difficult to avoid it would help ensure that they did read it.

A forced upon tutorial upon making a new account with a skip button in the far left corner that is very small.

Sounds good enough, but even after pressing it should still be somewhere do you can go back to it once you realise it's needed.

Support. But they should only be given very basic tutorials and the rest is up to them. -The Bombastic Astronaut is landing 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...-

/\ Yes, but they're not very easy to find unless you look for them. New players will just go to the first game they see, and will therefore miss out on the oppurtunity to find those tutorials.
