On this whole topic of helping newbies. I when I joined we (Real life friends) partied in our own guild. After a few weeks I was invited to the old Louyang Guild (budda's) cause they knew I was active apparently. Then at times I was supper leveled, ignored, and had some random chats. Leveling newbies is tedious IMO due to most leaving the guild or server after a while. But its fun with RL friends, maybe drag some friends to the server to help you in low level parties.
