I remember 32 man Newbie servers back in TFC that were pretty successful. I guess it all depends how it's run.
It's only destined to fail if 0 new players show up on that server. If someone has troubles learning what to do, take them to the newbie server or send them there if there are people in the server already.
Caleb, usually what I do is if someone looks like they are struggling, I ask if they need any help and by doing so, anyone else in the server at the time benefits from what that person is learning. This can be a good thing if other new players are in the server, but can be bad because I'm sure a lot of people who've been playing FF for a while just wanna play without much distraction. So a training server might be what the doctor ordered.
