I think the NN on each server might be different. Leviathan's is pretty good. It serves its purpose on multiple levels. New/returning players ask their questions and get their answers. Mentors and new players chat with each other, creating some camaraderie among the playerbase that can last after the player has moved out of the NN.

It might just be what the community makes of it. If it doesn't work for you or your server... don't join it.
