I don't think that's a noob question at all - I think it is actually a perfect example of why a manual is desperately needed - a legitimate question asking about the very first thing you see when you touch the screen after you join the server where your game is located!! Seems like a simple enough question, which shouldn't even need to be asked a week into the game, lol (And no, I don't have any additional answers aside from your guesses, unfortunately.) Since the tutorial videos haven't been providing many answers, I'm still not convinced the developers asking players to create a wiki or manual for them explaining their game is the best way to go...we have too many unanswered questions.
