That there should be an option for newbies to have the option play a character that can't advance past level 20 but also cannot participate in PK.

That way they could get a chance to learn the basic layout of the land and how some of the basic skills work without worrying about some ass bag multi killing them.

Once they are comfortable with the general areas and how the game works. They could role a real character. And, I can see no way how this limitation would be abused by veterans. They all know how to survive pre-20 for the most part.
