Ya know, I think it might be a good idea for noobs if some of them volunteer to stay on the island to help out new noobs, at least for a while, before leaving. It might keep someone on the noob island longer than they might want, but, hey, share the wealth, right? Us homis gots ta stick together, ya know. Maybe spend a week real time on the island; you can get some pretty good levels if you don't mind the grind, and you can help other noobs with sage advice, not to mention half-decent crafted items
I may do that myself, once I get back in game

Of course, when the noob islands become one, I plan to make a new one so I can experience it myself.
