I think Snowtroll makes a fairly valid point in regards to not knowing if a newbie is really going to stick around. Aarchon isn't an RP-enforced MUD, and I've still gotten burned out some days from helping new players. When you get 5-10 new people logging in each day, each one asking a ton of questions that are answered in help files, and then logging out 10 minutes later... it can be frustrating. I think we do a good job of answering questions for newbies and making them feel welcome/wanted, but I imagine in an RP environment where you are doing much more than just fielding questions... it can be a bit hard to interact with new players who don't make a strong effort themselves.
