Just a mini-suggestion. I remember reading in the news section of the forums about move experienced players helping out the newer ones with dungeon crawls and so forth when the kick-starter has begun.
The suggestion is, just like the billboard in Serbule's main town allows players to change to hardcore death mode, I was thinking to put another billboard (that sir coth or another NPC directs new players to) that allows experienced players to put sign ups on there. The names only appear on the board if the player is online and must be re-signed every time the player logs in if they wish to help.
The purpose would be to allow newer players to know which experienced players they can feel comfortable asking for help from. If possible you could even allow the billboard to post in certain sections such as "Dungeons", "Combat Skills", "Quests", "Non-combat Skills". This will let more experienced players continue to do their own thing without having to wait for a newer player to not feel anxious about addressing the player base on something low level.
Just figured it would be a more simple way for experienced players to get on the radar of newer players without them feeling anxious not knowing how/who to ask what questions or for help.
