Perhaps you get something for completing the tutorial? : ]

[Shotoo2]

a free handgun with no ammo

[Yocas]

I would say reward them around $50 so they can buy tools. Any more than that and they'll just log on trials to do the tutorial for free money.

Sounds hot. Who knows if players will constantly make accounts and do the tutorial to collect up on the prize rofl.

You can make $50 in thirty seconds on Era. No one is going to bother making trial accounts to do the tutorial.

[xAzerothx]

Completing the tutorial should give you a handgun, a clip of ammo, and $50 to get yourself started.

Yet I see new players running around asking for money even when they know exactly how to make money. : [

Exactly. And if worst comes to worst, make it an EC since those can't be dropped or traded.

How about just give them the items not money

Hm, if it were to be an item I would probably say a melee weapon.

giving them an uzi wouldn't be bad.. honestly, a HG won't hold up these days. an uzi with like 5 boxes of ammo would be nice. the tutorial could teach them how to equip it and load the ammo, and they basically just keep it.

[DuBsTeRmAn]

I would say.. Give them a Shovel, An uzi with 5 ammo packs and they can start with becoming rich?

[Yocas]

I would say give them a choice on what start pack to choose from; like:

Self-defense starter pack:
- x1 Uzi
- x5 boxes of uzi ammo
- x1 Armor kit

Work force starter pack:
- Shovel
- Drill
- $50

Balanced starter pack:
- x1 Handgun
- x2 boxes of handgun ammo
- $30

But people would just log on other accounts to have all sets.

I'm sure it could be scripted so that they can't be traded away. Otherwise it'd be stupid.

that would be just perfect for somebody new at Era.
