Because there are so many "Help the Newbies" posts, here is another.
If a new player joins no one helps him, mostly because nobody knows/recognizes him.
The player doesn't know what to do (if he's too stupid or lazy to figure out) and leaves again.
So my idea is: When it's the first time the player joins there will be next to his join messages another message, like
"Welcome De_Mik on Empirewar!!" So the other players see he's new and welcome him too.
There is simply a higher chance the player will stay, cause he feels like he is part of the EW network already. I played on another server where this "Welcome" message was added and most of the new ones stayed and kept playing.
Also add points
