Patch 916: Silan refactoring & Q.O.L. patch

A client and server patch and a server restart are scheduled for September 23, 2022 to implement the changes and additions described below.

Silan refactoring : Character creation & Redesigned tutorial area

• During character creation, the last step emphasizes the roleplay aspect of the game by offering, instead of the old choice of a class, a list of choices which define the character's roleplay profile.
• These choices result in the display in game of two roleplay tags and a title that varies according to the chosen profile, as well as the gift of a weapon or a colored tool featuring improved statistics.
• A new starting zone, still on Silan but outside of the Rangers' camp, now offer new players guided welcome of better quality.
• A tutorial, divided into several lessons of 4 or 6 explanatory vignettes each, accompanies the first steps of new players.
• Each lesson of this tutorial deals with an aspect of the game that helps the player to become familiar with the interface in an interactive way.
• Each lesson offers a reward, either cosmetic or useful to the character's skill progression.
• The tutorial, although highly recommended, can be skipped via the /skiptutorial command. However, the lessons can be viewed and re-run at any time thereafter.
• This tutorial will be supplemented over the next few months with new lessons to improve the support for new players.
• Icons displayed on the map indicate the location of the four coaches in the Rangers' camp.
• A Marauders' mini-camp has been added on Silan with a lesson introducing the Marauders' faction and lessons presenting the other factions and peoples of Atys are in-progress.
