Change to Mentor Position
- Remove the Mentor subclass.
- Make mentoring an option selectable by any character in the realm that has been playing the game for more than 6 months. (Too long? Maybe 3 months? Anyway, more than 30 days.)
- Allow rulers to appoint official mentors for the realm.
- Create a Newbie Corner (probably with a different name...) on the forum dedicated to basic game play questions, geared specifically at new players. All new players should get an IG message to go there and ask questions.
- Mentors who receive too many bad reviews from the students should be removed from the Mentor program.
- Some way to encourage more mentor/student communications. Maybe put the Mentor/Student channel options at the top of the Messages screen, possibly highlighted in a separate colored box, with some explanatory text directing the to ask questions of their mentors? Also, put a link to the forum Newbie Corner there, too.
To this I would also add the ability for appointed mentors to set an automatic message that is sent to the student after they join a particular realm.
