huge problems for helping noobs

[123vNOTA]

PMs do not ring you by default.
Some people do not like the ringing, but it is important a noob notice a PM.
I am posting this because this is a failing problem. It is hard enough as it is and making aid even harder is worse.

This is worth an immediate update.

It is better that we make spring friendly to newcomers than convenient to old comers.
This is very bad. And noob retention should be the number one goal, as we are pushing far to many new players away every day. The difficulty of getting started and knowing what to do is great enough.

Problems like this are being discussed here: http://spring.clan-sy.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=15167&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&start=20
