Last night I bumped into a newbie running into moonglow.....
My experience with newbies often reflects my experience alst night. They come to siege thinking it is full of murderous pks (it is in a way) so they come expecting to die. They come expecting to be dry looted by every red. They come and they try. So I think what you wrote (quoted above) is completely false on all levels.
Thats just my opinion based on my experiences.

It would be false in my case. I created a character on Siege a couple of weeks ago. Upon creating the character I was dumped in Brit. I fully expected to be attacked and killed, so the first thing I did was set a Guards! macro. I ran to the Brit bank trying to find someone to ask questions of and get a little advice and help. After wandering around picking up regs, etc, I saw a gate pop up, so I ran through it. I stepped out of the gate, into someone's house and was immediately kicked from the house. I look up into the house and see a Red name. I'm not in a guard zone, infact, I have no idea where I am and fully expect to be killed immediately. So I just stand there, ready to take it. Asmodeus comes out and says "new to siege?" and I reply yes. He then friends me to his house, he points me to several cabinets and says "take what you need". I take some armor, a full spellbook and a few other items. He gives me some LRC items! He then takes me to the stable and buys me a horse. I feed it and stable it. We then talk abit about Siege, templates, what to look out for etc. I decide to make a mage! We exchange ICQ numbers. He gates me to glow where I can bank, log and train. Over the course of the next few days, he ICQ's me to check up on me to see how I am doing and if I need anything, he brings me a ton of regs and other things. There have been other players who have similiarly helped me - given me more LRC to complete a 100% suit so I can train my magery. One takes me to Vesper where I can train wrestling on dummies (OMG that is SO BORING!). My Siege experience has been great thus far, and I've met nothing but nice people who have helped me, but then again, I haven't been out of a guard zone much! So, there's one more person on Siege!
