After months and even years of waiting, the time is here at last. You’ve downloaded the game, poured a glass of your favorite frosty beverage, and logged in for the very first time. Or maybe it’s an MMO that’s been out for a while and you’ve only now gotten around to trying it.
In any case, what do you do next?
What objectives do you have for the first hour of a new game? Do you spend most of it in the character creator? Try to populate your friends list? Find a guild? Explore the UI and customize your HUD? Take those initial screenshots for posterity? Blitz through newbie quests and scoff at tutorial prompts? Or something else entirely?
