Second Life Help for New Residents
Where can you go to get help, information, training and the resources to get up and running and playing in Second Life?
☛ Community Gateways
"A Community Gateway (CG) is a starting point for new Residents of SL which is not maintained by Linden Lab, but by an established community in SL. These gateways offer their own orientation path to give Residents an easy start."

☛ Help & Welcome Centers ✰ A Best Bet
You can find locations built for the express purpose of helping new residents in Second Life. They are often populated with formal volunteers, the occasional Linden Lab employee and a whole lot of random people who just like to help and answer questions and meet people. You will often find freebies and tutorials and class schedules at the Help Centers.
Help & Welcome Centers are "a combination of content, objects, and services developed to help newcomers discover the advantages of Second Life as quickly and as easily as possible."

☛ People
Fellow Second Life residents. A lot of them love to help. RLetc.com members too.
One of the people who helped me the most when I first joined Second Life? A guy I met at Lar's Place, a club. The other people who have helped me? RLetc.com forum whores right here in the Second Life threads. Those Guides and discussion threads are pure GOLD. I've also used and abused Steph's patience and goodwill quite bit. I yelled "Steph" the way Brando yelled "Stella." Her request? Pass it on. "YOU help the NEXT newbie."
One of the people Gi says has helped her the most in Second Life? A Bloodline vampire she met in a Welcome Center, who after politely accepting Gi's choice not to participate in Bloodlines, proceeded to coach her on Second Life, give her freebies and landmarks, and show her around.
What am I forgetting or missing? Loads of stuff in all likelihood! If you really look for help in Second Life, you will be overwhelmed by what's out there.
