If I were to a suggest a noob-friendly mmo, it would be atlantica online. I would know because I’ve been a noob at many other mmo’s but a lesser one at atlantica.
One of the reasons is the auto functions present in the game particularly the automove function. The automove used to be license but a patch update has been done and it is now permanent. What’s good about this is that it puts the character on ‘autopilot’ and I can proceed to the next quest without getting lost.
Another is the quests – the first few are tutorials like how to hire mercenaries and use the different aspects of the game interface. Other quests also help a lot in leveling up because they require killing monsters.
