I was about the say that death was a good way of avoiding new players get lost down there, but realise the death realm is not that good of an alternative 
There are well knwon techniques for manouvering around certain types of mazes, when I first entered the well I used a common one and soon found my way out, since then it's a walk in the park.
Here is one suggested way of finding your way into and out of simple mazes. Go back to the entrance, place your hand against the left wall and follow it wherever it goes, this method will eventually lead you to the centre of a simple maze and then to the exit. (in this case it will probably also lead you to the top of the high tower - DON'T jump off unless you wish to visit the death realm, that is NOT the exit.).
Hope this isn't to much of a spoiler for poeple, it's just a simple well known technique for solving mazes.
