Then perhaps the problem isn't that they don't have enough to do, but that they don't properly understand what they could do?
I would greatly favor us encouraging newbies to spend 5 more minutes day writing messages than giving them 5 minutes' worth of button clicking a day. We already have too much routine clicking for my tastes.
Agreed. I would have greatly appreciated people talking in general more when I was a newbie, as well as people helping IC and OOC with getting me started in the game. Like recently, I asked a new player if he wished to become my knight in the new realm I will be forming with Allison Kabrinski. I also directed him to a lord who needed a lord and told him that I would be there for him if he needed any help. I've now got a very loyal follower, which may come of use in the future.
