Well intended, but will be farmed/boxed/botted.... to reference previous mistakes made by NC.
NC West... DO NOT give Liberties to NA/World players (I really wish NA servers would ban IPs outside of NA. If KR can do it, WhyTF can't "we"?)! They WILL take inappropriate advantage of ANY situation/bonus that you extend to them!
Step 1: lets say I cancel one of my accounts since with GoD there is no need for two buffer account.
Step 2: I start up a new account by paying with timecards/month to month and use this account do a new toon in the academy and have the main as the mentor and then cancel the toon - rinse/repeat

1. Originally this feature is a really useful one, I guess many old or new players will enjoy that. But, yes maybe some ppls can use it for bad things.
2. I would wonder if you didn't get after, that comment an alert message from Sace or Moxie. The NCwest not anymore NCNA. NCwest=NC Europe & NC North America (or NC Interactive).
Anyway as you can see too much more peoples play the game from Europe as from America and don't forget from America the peoples play it from Mexico, Canada, Chile, Brazil too.
Typical nowadays Lineage 2 player reaction, before he could understand something, before he could try out something, you think about it bad, spamming all around the forums with your bad ideas and just you screaming, that the new players arriving much slowly as older times.
Honestly, Sace and Moxie should close every, but really every topics where the players talk about a new update, what still they couldn't test!

Since the Mentor must be lvl 85 or above you can take the Disciple in your party only during the last few levels at best. Keep in mind, in GoD you do not only get an exp penalty when the level difference between party members is too big, but also when monsters are being hunted which are 11 levels or more above the concerned character: http://boards.rochand.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=11&start=610#p2825
That means you can sign up a shop Dwarf as your Disciple for the 10% exp bonus, but leveling a character all the way to 86, all alone, just to get R-Grade weapons and Unbinding Scrolls seems a bit inefficient. Those things can be obtained easier via the daily instances etc.
Don't forget, NCsoft is not nice. The Mentoring System is not intended to provide players with profit, but to lure in more players, i.e. increase the profit of the company. On the PTS everybody could play for free, and most people were quite positive about GoD. But this apparently did not translate into an increase of subscriptions resp. the purchase of PCcafe Points (the usual method of payment in Korea). So now, after one month of unsatisfactory revenue, they thought up the new system. This smacks a bit of desperation. When shops start on giveaway promotions ... the end is near :D
thanks for the info Yidao - and ouch about the monster level difference and getting no ex - that seems a bit harsh..
is this confirmed??? If confirmed, I will stop paying for my buffbots immediately. I have 3 buffbots/healers, and all they do is leech, so they are 4 lvls away from main. No weapon or armor necessary, since all they do is leech... I am sure there are plenty of people like me in game... This mentor idea is really silly. Why on earth do you need a mentor when you are 85?????????? At this pace, you can probably go 1 to 76 in 2 weeks. This mentor thing is made to be abused.
If you mean with "confirmed" the Mentoring System, the link with "power.plaync.co.kr/lineage2/" is NCKorea official. In Korea this System exists. Whether it will be implemented by NCWest is not confirmed. Traditionally we get our updates as they are in Korea when a patch goes live. The Mentoring System was introduced one month later. On the other hand, with High Five we got all parts rolled into one ...
If you mean the exp penalty when a character is 11 levels or more below the monster which is being killed, a feature that was introduced for the live version of GoD, that has been confirmed by a Korean player who was surprised himself. When you click on the Rochand link above, you will find a link to the original Inven article on the previous page there. Simply run it (and the following discussion) through Google Translator :)

Is it? As far as i can see, Immortal Armor is nothing worth on it's own. Instead of wasting your time to level your buffboxes later, you could also do the instance quests and farm your Immortal Gear right away when GOD launches.
It helps new and returning players, but active one's don't gain much out of it, nothing which they would have had anyway.
Besides unless your boxes are not lvl1, you won't get enough coins for mentoring them the last few levels either.
This is more like the old lvl10 Quests, which gave everyone a basic weapon upgrade- You could have still farmed a 64K No grade Weapon instead of repeating those quest with new chars, back then - pre-prelude (KR/Tw/JP).
Something the devs keept forgetting every update and seemed to renember with GOD. Immortal Armor isn't what *new* A grade in C3 or *new* S grade in C4 was. It's basic gear for awakening chars. Don't get overhyped about a non elemental, none overenchanted Armor which even could turn out to be not blessed.
