I am half-tempted to do this endevor myself, but I'm not qualified for it, at least technically. So, in the name of the public good, I am offering a wonderful little business model. If you want to cut me in on a piece, let me know.

If you are a qualified counsellor (and yes, I know that's a probably a huge umbrella), you should offer services to the Clan Lord community. Set up a web page, with a form to schedule appointments. Use PayPal for payments. Have several characters at your disposal for the counselling staff, and let the person pick the persona they wish to speak to. Meet in the Tor, and do online counselling.

You can also offer two plans: in-character counselling, for in-character issues, and charge coins for that, and an out-of-character service.

You might laugh this off, but I know first-hand of three divorces where Clan Lord played a pivotal part. (This does not include my own. Clan Lord didn't really play a part.) So, if you're planning on offering this service, a specialization in relationship counselling will do you well. My earlier observation that a couple that clans together is in a better place apparently doesn't bear out, so be warned. No one is safe.

Frankly, from the wealth of affairs and infidelities, to adults wanting to marry children, to people spreading rumors of their own deaths, the community is ripe for theraputic help.
