    • 1 stone sword
    • 1 stone axe
    • 1 feather (for checking WG's)

    See this is what stumps me, It is a free build server yet is it up to us to give then started items? But on the other side, Wouldn't it be concidered non surivial aspect?

    Would you then remove the staring balance that people get when they join the server - isn't this designed to allow people to get the basics that they need when they first join?
    Learning to dislike children at an early age saves a lot of expense and aggravation later in life.

    It was, but builders can't use the shop, and some fail to work out they have to apply etc.



    The main issue is we are slumping in numbers, and want to try and keep people a bit better, so by giving them a little push at the start it may help.
    If they don't want the items, they can /sell or drop them.

    peepz get money and the server is a survival server.
    so i dont see why we should give them items when they can get the stuff for their axe or other stuff from the RW
    and i think the acomplishment to make youre own axe and sword and stuff is more rewarding then just getting it from the start

    these items are so basic it doesn't matter if they get them or not, but if we can give them, why not? it's better this way, and the 5 cookies sure can be helpfull for the first day of survivel, even so, shouldn't we give them a guide-book as well ?

    I think the 5 cookies is a good idea, but instead of stone, give wood so they still have to work at the start to get cobble and such.

    I agree with Horsegal, make the tools wood which would indicate pretty quickly that they would need to replace them fast.

    Wood die too quick imo, stone last just that little bit longer, that was my thought.
