Player Retention

[GregHib]

First Time User Experience

First Time User Experience (FTUE) should have as few blockers as possible to get in-game.

• Direct Login/Quick Play button for logging in while skipping the lobby
  • This could be taken a step further with a "first time player" button which logs into a temp account to do the intro quest, after which the players name + password is asked.
• Tutorial quest should be engaging and meaningful - (someone's in trouble, their health decreasing, the player must help them otherwise they die)
• Quick login. Account save spaces, either via login screen or runelite esq plugin.

Best practices for a successful FTUE

Ideas

• Reward players for resting (xp boost after 1h break, up to a max of 24h/2x)
• Daily rewards/tasks (aka delayed feedback loops)
