Twenty minutes and one particularly inspired Character Creation later, Henry Schultz stood at the center of Gnomeville, Gnome Country, tall and strong.

"...So, no Tutorial?" the newly-minted Shieldsman asked incredulously, feeling as though he were sticking out like a sore thumb in spite of being one of the small horde of Gnomes gathered around the town square, which fittingly happened to be the noob spawning point.

The lack of that formerly ever-present feature, for once, irked him. While in certain games, the tutorial was boring, repetitive, and annoying, there were situations where they'd you know, be helpful.

Such as this being your first time in a VRMMO, for Pete's sake!

Gritting his teeth, the tall gnome who had just been christened WalliamWillace began to stalk forward, looking to at least get his bearings on his race's starter town. This game may not have a Tutorial Island, but it'd be damned if it didn't have a Lumbridge.
