The problem with this(and I have learned this through experience), and the main reason I haven't made a super in depth guide, is people(especially newer people) often DO NOT READ. Even if it's plastered all over the screen, people will ignore it, then keep asking questions. So we tend to rely on our members/staff to help guide newbies through the process.
There are some people(like myself) who will read notifications on the screen, and not instantly close out a popup explaining things.
Also, when you first join, it does tell you that you have been given 2 starter weapons, and you can press I to open your Inventory to equip them.
Terran has wrote a guide on crystals already:

So now we could write up a post explaining other features(also quote Terran's post) and I could make it show the forum post with a !help command, or if it detects they join for the first time it would popup(most likely will be ignored). We should add some screenshots/webms of things to make it more appealing, and not a big wall of text.
