Newbie Helpers

Newbie Helpers are players who are willing to help new players (newbies) get started on the mud. They usually help by answering questions and pointing new players to the correct panic files. Newbie Helpers are not there to give you experience points, money or things like that. If they choose to do so outside of the sims, that is their choice.

You can recognize a Newbie Helper from the [NH] tag that appears at the end of their title in the who list. You can also list all the Newbie Helpers who are online by typing swho -n or who -n.
