There are several things on servers which could be resused for this:
- on era it shows the usage and a short description of the weapon that you equip
- on Zone it shows where to go to the battlefield or terminals when you enter a dropship
- several servers have a small tutorial although they tell the player what to do exactly (you need to find out yourself that you need to touch NPCs, there are probably many people who think they need to click on an object or are just lost)
- there should be a global tool for setting your look, although the server weapons for that should still be enabled; using sethead etc. is not user-friendly

I don't know about the other ones besides zones, but I haven't seen a tutorial that tells players how to use the chat bar (Well maybe on the infamous SOG?) or how to PM. Usually if you can tell someone how to communicate, they can ask questions so they can understand how to do everything else.
Maybe a quick Graal basics tutorial could be made that would be mandatory to do once, and after that you would never have to do it again. I know an option to not do the tutorial would be nice for the older players, but the newer players might take advantage of it and then will be lost when they try to play.
