As a so-called n00b first logging onto to the 2k1 servers, I found it increasingly difficult to make money. Not because of the jobs, ( which I love), but because of the fact that it costs money to take those jobs. Pearl Dive is an unfair advantage to Bomys, because it allows them with an easy and unexhaustable source of wealth. As it is, the only way to get started in the 2k1 economy is by PK'ing, borrowing some from a more grounded player, or winning an event. The first two are hardly the ideal options, and the odds of winning an event at newby status are slim to none.

What I propose is a simple, small amount to cash given to the player when he or she first logs on. No more than 30 gralat; just enough to make a start mining, fishing, et cetera. I feel this would greatly help make the server more "newby friendly," thus bringing in more traffic and interest to the p2p accounts.
