I've had to watch this topic for some time before I decided to post.
So here's what I think...
It sounds like a brilliant idea. Having a Newbie-Teacher Program would be extremely helpful to the newbie players (which, essentially, the whole idea is about), but we already have the FAQ, Help Sections, Manuals, Game Help, Forum Help, and even tutorials. I'm just not sure that many newbies would even sign up to do it.
The intriguing thing about Feral Heart is the creativity, exploration, and imagination put into the game. I feel like one of the great things about learning how to use the game is figuring out how to do it yourself.
Maybe it's just me, but when I joined the game, I insisted that nobody help me. I wanted to learn to play myself. If I had any questions or specific difficulty, after I checked the manuals, I asked for help or advice. But part of the learning process is learning how to make your own way around the game.
By all means, I'm not saying that help isn't good to give. I absolutely think that newbies should receive as much help as they need, and I think it would be rude to deny them help if they needed a little push in the right direction.
However, this is an interesting idea, and I wouldn't be against it. I'm always looking to help people. I just wonder if it would be hard finding people to join/volunteer.
I guess I have varied opinions about it- but as long as it was helping people, I'd be all for it. ^.^
