Speaking as a relative newbie here, a little helping hand here or there is welcome. I think aid falls disproportionately on people running around in EC just because that's where the wealth concentrates. I've met some very generous players in the last few months and I've tried to pass it along where I can.
I think time and information are often the best things one can give and even back on Live when I was capable of handing out much more, I often hesitated. As mentioned earlier in the thread, some of my best in-game memories are related to struggle and hardship. When a friend and I first started digging into this game, we realized there was money in greater lightstones but we had no magic weapons. He played a bard and I had a warrior. We went all out to kill them one at a time with me taunting like a madman (ineffectually) so he could burn them down with his dot song. He was so proud when he was able to afford a gnollhide lariat. It would have been a lot easier to have been presented with something but it probably wouldn't be as memorable. | ||

There are a few things new players should look out for. Melee players can often find medium banded armor for sale at extremely cheap prices in the armor shop in East Freeport because that's where almost everyone trains blacksmithing. That's also a nice region for selling things like LQ or HQ bear skins. Some other folks are right in one sense. P1999 can try to replicate the classic game, but it can't replicate the classic community. Danth | |||

I've found the community very helpful, but I have primarily been leveling around the Commonlands. I have made a couple trips to Qeynos to work on the monk quests over there, and even with the sparse population there, I saw people looking to buff newbies. I saw a mid-40's Druid helping out a group in Blackburrow.
I've also been able to find cheap or even free ports more often than not. Not because I ask for them, but because a lot of people don't want to take 20 plat from an untwinked level 14 monk, I guess. I've also been able to find binds in Qeynos, FP, and GFay when I've needed them. That's all been very convenient for me, as moving around to keep the scene varied is much more important to leveling speed to me. Aside from that, I was given 100 plat by a kind traveler, which I used to raise my tailoring to make myself cured silk. It's not easy to get started from scratch, but that's really most of the appeal of the game to me. Nice Silva/Newton gif, by the way. | ||

One other thing I would like to add, if you are really concerned with new players sticking around a great thing to do is actually group with them on your alts. Doesn't exactly seem like a super cool server to play on when a new PLer comes into whatever newbie dungeon you are in every 30 mins and takes the entire zone.

You are doing something very wrong. My son and I got one in 3 hours like a month ago.

Here is another thing that would help new players. Fix the damn pathing. Cazel never stood on the docks for 20 mins and I don't recall reds just walking through the middle of lvl 10 camps. wtf
