Introducing the Guild Mentoring Program

Azeroth -- It’s a land of turmoil, harsh and unyielding for heroes of the Horde and the Alliance as they struggle against enemies from within and without. For those stepping forth for the first time into this implacable realm, life can seem overwhelming, but surviving in this hostile environment is not insurmountable with a little help. Will your band of brothers and sisters, heroes and mentors, heed your call for aid?
Azeroth needs more heroes to rise through the ranks and your guild can help. We’re looking for a few good guilds to volunteer for the new Guild Mentoring Program. Guilds participating in the program will take part in identifying new players within selected realms, offering to invite them into the guild, and teaching them the ways of Azeroth as they level and reach the end game content.

And to all of you who wonder why it's only on a few servers, I can only assume that it's for the sake of "testing the waters" so to speak. They want to make sure their idea will work effectively before they put it on every server. That's just my opinion though.

My best experiences in WoW were during vanilla and BC when everything was long, tedious, and challenging. Many of the changes after that, especially shorter leveling times and making content easier, have made the game less enjoyable for me. I've always been happy to share my knowledge with others in a constructive way. If doing so will help stop the nerfing of this game please send the noobs my way! :D
