Original Post — Direct link

So at the end of tutorial island, one is currently required to speak to the wizard to be teleported to lumbridge, I suggest that instead of having the wizard teleport you, one would teleport themselves, that way they gain full awareness and understanding of the home teleport button.

Pros: new players gain knowledge of home teleport, and thus are more likely to use it if they get lost, and thus are more likely to keep playing rather than quit due to frustration of not knowing what the hell has hit them.

Cons: Literally none, this does not change any metas, does not introduce anything into the existing game, does not move anything around.

/u/jagexacorn thoughts on this? I know Jagex is looking for things to improve new player retention rates, so posts like these are probably a priority?

I do like the idea. I'll send it over to the team that's looking into new player improvements. Thanks for the tag!
