Guild Mentoring Program

On July 10, 2012, Blizzard introduced the Guild Mentoring Program. It is essentially guilds pledging to assist new WoW users with anything they have problems with, and willing to change their guild name for several months while they're in the program. The flags Guild Mentors as "MVP - Guild Mentor", with the usual Most Valuable Poster green text.

A list of the participants was announced August 30, 2012.

The program came to a close on December 18, 2012.

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.
