>So after all the babbling the question is: >How do the immortals and players feel about this kind of >thing?
I see it every once in a while, and under level 5 I'm really not going to step in. Under level 10, I might, but that depends more on if one person is just gearing another person or is showing that person what to do and they're doing it (subjective).
Beyond that...
My advice to you is to have your friends read through the Beginner Guide (click on Help in the left column of the forum and choose which format to read it in) first. It needs to be updated, but all the most basic stuff is there. Talk about how to move around, get stuff out of sacks, put stuff in sacks, what autoloot is, how to eat and drink, etc. Heck, we might need to make an ultra-basic crib sheet.
Explain to them what happens when they die *before* they die. I've always wanted to have a quest that has you hike across the world only to (simulated) die and have to hike back to your corpse as a "ghost" (for prizes I'm sure). The first death is always so discombobulating.
When going through the Academy together, read the signs, get the explorer notebook, get the maps, do the whole Academy thing together like real people would. Teach them how to fish.
There's a good early exploration quest, you know which one, that you can do. Another thing is to retrace the steps within the explorer notebook and "discover" the various shops and guilds together and use the maps to help them remember where things are. Show them where they can almost always find a thing they can just plain barter for a piece food!
As you're wandering around, you're going to have to rest. Tell them IC stories about the places you're coming from, passing through, going to. You may not see Centurions, and gates may always be open as you pass through, etc.
Anyway, stuff like that.
