Hi.
It went thorough my mind yesterday that we could implement quick resolution for new players who are lost after first couple of hours and mostly resign and never come back.
Why couldn't we grant new player a mentor automatically after tutorial?
Why new players, including me, are not even aware at the beginning that mentoring system exists and graduation involves nice armor and jeep prize. Why mentors have to fool around Camp Icarus and stalk new and lost players with mentoring invitations.
We have mentor register - we could implement quick solution in which mentor and new player would choose preferable languages, planet, time-zone etc and system could associate proper mentor with new disciple.
Idea is not polished, there are some barriers like players registered as mentors who left the game or mentors who login only form time to time but I am sure all the adversities can be overcome somehow.
Maybe new player should receive a MsgBox in which he would be informed: Avatar Henrik Jerkrot Nel is your new mentor. Mentors are experienced players who provide bla bla bla. Click here and there to send him a message bla bla bla.
After some time it's clear for me that MA don't have enough resources to implement fresh new solutions that could solve one of the biggest problem of this game - lack of new player retention.
If you don't have any internal resources at MindArk to improve new player retention, use your most valuable external resource - experienced players.
Mentors can easily explain things that are too complex for new players and tutorial does not explain it at all - bankroll management, deposits, item descriptions etc.
Remember, often it is a mentor who encourages new player to make first deposit. This is just a quick idea, feel free to comment and post some additional improvements.
