If you see Aandar in the PA new arrival zone, ask him if Alice is on. She mentors lots of people and has written an excellent guide for new players. Also, there are often seasoned players in the NAZ that will happily answer questions and give advice. There are both MA empoyess that are official guides (indicated by wardrobe and stars over their heads) and players that volunteer their time for the betterment of the community.

Be cautious when taking a mentor, as there are some deadbeats out there. MA/ FPC awards mentors with a prize upon a disciples graduation, and some unscruulous people will sign you on as a disciple and then ne'er be seen again.

When selecting a mentor, here are a few suggestions.

Make sure there isn't a language barrier.

Go on several outings with a prospective mentor before committing. The dirtbags won't wait that long to start ignoring you.

Get an alternate way to contact the person, such as an email address or forum ID.

Make sure the person has experience in the career path you  think you want to try.

Make sure the personis generally on at the same time you usually play.

Good luck!

Good suggestions. One addition, if you do find a mentor who ignores you or isn't as helpful as you thought he'd be, you have the option of kicking him out and find a better one. Please be patient with mentors though, they might have other disciples or things to do too and remember they're not always about getting you free stuff, their knowledge and tips might be far more valuable in the long run
