Random thought: How about, in stead of out right giving it to them, putting it in their enderchest inventory, then put one down at the tutorial?

Surely a fair few of the people who join dont bother going to the tutorial, and if they do they wont open the Ender Chest and get the items in there, so if this happens (it should) they should get it as soon as they join

I think some players here are still missing the point.
This kit is to help get our new members who join a little push and head start. A lot of players join then leave because it's straight to surviving - no items given to them to start with, No real understanding how to become a member, no PVP or hunger games happening, no creative, nothing. To them, this could look like a normal single player mode but online with players instead. what's the difference? Nothing really, so why stay? They'll log out and try to find another server with more going on at that moment. This is a way to KEEP players here, and stop the clutter of our modreqs with "give me this" and "give me that".
As I've said, HUNDREDS of successful and popular survival servers, who hold about 250/300 active players a day, give new players WAY BIGGER and RARER starter kits than what we're suggesting. And I bet you've all played these servers and didn't complain being given such items right off the bat.

Yes but not trying to be the bear of bad news but slap does nessasarly have 250+ players daily, 5 at the max at night xD, Dunno thinking new ways of getting the server out there with advertising and sorts on different forums would get more people on daily. I don't know how having a book or even a survival kit in game would help attract people to the server :/

Yes but if you saw you had stone tools and some food and a book they aren't going to say hey this is the best server ever, im going to stay here. Many many many servers have started kits not something that is very unique to keep them here thou

If you're going to give people this stuff the instant they join, please set the server to HC mode because I lasted over 1 month before my first PvE death. A death caused thanks to sudden super-lag and high places.(Edit: Unless you count no-armor pvp vs diamond-wearing players while wielding a red flower)
Honestly, after 5 minutes in the wild or RW, you'll have iron and will be smelting armor, anyway. At which point, no mob will ever ever ever kill you. By day two(assuming one has RL commitments), you'll literally be able to swim in lava for over 30 seconds because fire prot is pretty OP.
My vote:
A) No
B) HC Mode
C) If not A, then B
=)
