Gilgamesh has a pretty functional novice network. Things rarely get hostile or unpleasant there. We do have a dearth of novices, though, since the server is so hard to join, but when novices do ask questions they get enthusiastic answers from dozens of Mentors, all at once. XD

Players do ask how to leave, though (generally folks with novice alts), and it's a bit frustrating how little control players have over their presence in the channel. Invite a Novice? They can't say no. Novice (or Mentor) wants to leave? Too bad, not unless you remove your Novice (or Mentor) status.
