The file for help getting started is huge and confusing. I think the file
would have grabbed my attention with three bullet points...
1) Hey use "newbie posts" for explore experience 2) there's a "warehouse" in
arellium for free eq and 3) you can recycle your exp!
Because these are awesome unique feaures and I think they encourage
exploration.
Just my opinion... because people have short attention spans, we gotta show
them the razzle-dazzle! :D
Oh, :D is outta character... I meant >:|

Maybe a 'help getting started' that is the steamed line version with a
reference to 'help getting started detailed' or something, so that those who
are ADD can get the basic info fast and those who want to read the manual have
the option too.

I believe you're looking for something like 'help quickstart', though that is
a bit lengthy too.
