well yeah, I wouldn't help a Noob, obviously that's someone who doesn't want help, he just wants to make life annoying. But someone who is genuinely interested in playing a MMO, who does or doesn't have experience, but is willing to learn, sure I'd take them under my wing. It's hard to remember that gaia's majority demo is a younger female audience, and a lot of them have never played an MMO for whatever reason. But this will be one that we can start in, and really make a name for themselves, and be on par with others IF they have someone to guide them. I actually had this really weird thought of having multiple "schools" in the game, whichever one you pick you'll end up with a certain item and ring, plus a badge saying you belong to that "school". Now I realize something like that would be very time consuming and many people wouldn't like it because they wouldn't be able to go to all the schools and get all the items/badges. But if a group of vets/regs were to form and take others under their wings, wouldn't that make for a more enjoyable experience for newbies, a since of fulfillment for the regs, and general growth for the community, the site as a whole?
