Regarding promoting NI and bringing new players in, I find the best thing to do is bring in people you know from other mods (NW, PW etc), invite them into your houses and help them get started. Give them cheap crafted gear and teach them how to be useful in game. IMO it's the nurturing of new players that allows a community to grow.
Before I first quit this game (about 1 year ago) I had observed a lot of people being intolerant of noobs - on bloody normal servers as well. It only takes a couple of people to whinge about redshirts in game and you've already got a very bad impression on those new players in question. I know it is against the rules and what not but it definitely did happen and it just shows the underlying cultural problem here. Nowadays it seems better, and there's less slagging off of newbies, but the cynic inside tells me that's only because we have less newbies playing.

There once was a rather strange mammal,
Who went by the name of Saxon Camel,
With the Fire & Sword,
He killed all the Nords,
And burned down his own TeamSpeak Channel.
Keeping to the NI Faith:
