Topic: Family Mentor

The family mentor has the ability to log in and view someones account. Not personal messages

They are not allowed to take any actions on the account such as building attacking etc.

They will be able to log into accounts when the player checks a box in HQ.

Why is this good?

A new player comes in, they don't always have time to learn all the ins and outs of the game. For example.

-I noticed you built LQs and Mines. Your race is based on a banker role you should choose CF/RC and we can help you with iron etc.

-I noticed you have 5000 droids but only 25 transports. It takes 1 transport per 100 ground so you should have 500 transports PLUS to accommodate your attacks.

- I noticed you have fighters but not soldiers, soldiers are essential to defend. Also it is recommended to keep fighters on a planet because an attacker can easily kill these if your not careful.

etc. etc. etc.

Yes there are other ways - chat and forum but I don't see this being the same idea.

Re: Family Mentor

Thats not a bad idea. I imagine it would take quite a bit of programming, but this could help new players alot better than past and current methods (tutors, reading long guides, bugged faq etc)

Turn on - Tune in - Drop out

Re: Family Mentor

I think we did have something like this many years ago when the training galaxy was around? 

I have always thought this would be a good idea.

The mentors however would have to be pro-active.

They would have to message new players and introduce themselves and make sure new players knew who to ask for information and things like that.    They would also have to have decent writing skills and give good enough answers.

No use just saying.

"Build CF and RC"

Need to explain WHY and what CF and RC do.   

Then need to explain how to handle their iron, oct, food and so on, and again WHY


- Free advertizing
- Better training - Even a few YouTude videos
- Training Mentors

All good things to help build more solid players
