Helping New Players

[eqravenprince]

I'm guessing it's probably harder for newbies to find groups and such starting off now than when the server opened. I have some ideas on how to maybe lessen the burden of starting off. One would be have one weekend a month that it is encouraged to start new characters. So that if you are thinking of joining the server or starting a new character, you could time it with this weekend. My second idea that could be combined with the first one is have newbie hotzones with exp increased. For example, you give a group of newbie zones that are close to one another, like Everfrost, Qeynos, and Tox. Or Innothule and Ferrott. Or perhaps just one hotzone like Misty Thicket. This would encourage newbies to be closer instead of a few here and few there continents apart.

Anyhow, just a thought on keeping the server fluid and not top heavy, and help with growth.
