When FFXI released on Xbox there was a big flood of newbies. I ran around in my fancy red mage artifact gear raising newbies right outside of town that tried to tangle with something too tough. Also spent a lot of time in the dunes raising and powerleveling. Had my own little flock of newbies I'd help out, teach them the game, show them where to go for their quests, stuff like that. I still think of a few of them sometimes. Hope you're doing well, Nubs. Ever since then I've always really liked helping newbies. Not just in vidya, but board/card games and training on the job. I like to help people learn and I've got all the patience in the world for someone learning the ropes. I delight in seeing the light turn on and them really dig in and enjoy things.
