Here is an idea for the newbie school.

It might take some coding, but I think would maybe be worth it?

How about some part of the newbie school that simulates a pk situation? A tracking mob that spawns and chases the player if they flee some, could be under the auspices of an arena fight or something, not sure exactly how it would work, but when it happens, some mob could talk about how some one will try and kill you eventually, etc.
