Yeah, I just pulled back up the preview and I got mixed up. The 40 hours is only for the mentor system, not the hall of the novice. I will adjust my post above.
(Novice Hall) Entry Requirements
Upon reaching level 15 with at least one Disciple of War or Magic, players can speak with the Smith NPC located at the Adventurers' Guild in each city and several other locations.
- Novice Network
Upon becoming a mentor, you will automatically gain access to the Novice Network, a chat channel where new adventurers can seek the advice of veteran players.
* The "New Adventurer" status is applied to all players who have less than 40 hours of play time.
