Best way to teach a friend the basics?

If you know how, setting up a private server is a good option. Instructions are on the the wiki, and you can set yourself as admin. You could make yourself Captain for the all access, and show him the game. If not, I'd go for server 4. It's much lower population, and it's a slower paced round usually. Just make sure he minds the RP rules, but if he's entirely new, most should give him plenty of slack. I've been playing on server 4 a lot recently. I'd be happy to take him under my wing at the job I'm doing if you see me on the server.
