	[[Tutorial Neighbors]]		[[Tutorial Neighbors]] are [[Neighbors]] that are [[Non-Player Characters]] instead of players. By doing so they can let players make [[Visits]] to [[Private Game Spaces]] in addition to those of other players. They can provide [[Smooth Learning Curves]] to players through giving them [[Quests]] in a suitable order, but can partly do on their own by being [[Helpers]].

	[[Tutorial Neighbors]]		[[Tutorial Neighbors]] are created by designing [[Non-Player Characters]] than have provide the same functionality to players as [[Neighbors]] do. In particular, [[Private Game Spaces]] need to be designed for them if other [[Neighbors]] have them. These [[Tutorial Neighbors]] may or may not also be able to perform the same actions in return.

	Many of the massively single-player online games on social network sites make use of ''neighbors'', lists of other players that have agreed to have interactions with each other. However, those beginning to play the game do not yet have these neighbors nor may they wish to start to interact with other players at once. [[Tutorial Neighbors]]		Many of the massively single-player online games on social network sites make use of ''neighbors'', lists of other players that have agreed to have interactions with each other. However, those beginning to play the game do not yet have these neighbors nor may they wish to start to interact with other players at once. [[Tutorial Neighbors]] solve this problem by providing a "fake" neighbor that is run by the system.
