Hey Joda,
I like the idea of having a mentor, I've played pretty much all free MMORPG games and some payed and everytine I have to spend many hours of just gathering information and asking people what is what.
Also having a mentor is going to be easier to find a group for a dungeon or raid.
Greetings,
Yes I like the concept of helping new players out to give them the best experience possible as quickly as possible. My main gripe when I play a new game that has been out a while and I try it out, is that I feel so far behind and so lost. If I have a person to lean on for advice and to guide me through the major events of the game, I would enjoy it more be more likely to stick around in those games. The apprentice idea can be big or small, but a way to get veteran players to want to teach and help newbies in a positive way, and then those newbies grow and do the same thing to the next wave of trials.
With love,
Joda
