I agree - this is definitely a very big step in the right direction for new residents. So many good things - especially the easy destination guide.
But a few observations: 1 - a shame this wasn't implemented using proper skinning instead of a hack on the code. 2 - although you can 'detach' your hair etc. you can't add it back (unless I missed something). 3 - many places give you ncs when you arrive - it took me just 2 tps to find one, and then it tells you to upgrade to 'Advanced' to read it, confusing if you've only been inworld a short time. Maybe a very cut-down inventory may solve this and item 2. 4 - 'no' to point and click movement - there is one journalist in SL that likes that, and he is on his own. The standard way of walking should be introduced right at the start - it is not that difficult. But. all that said I do like it, and I think it should improve retention rates - it also has a nice side-effect of decreasing tp and rez times!
