here's a thought:
suspend newbie rent (until lev 10, let's say) on non-limited items.
that policy gives true newbies a little time to acclimate to jedi while at the same time dealing with the multitude of non-newbie hold characters loaded with big ticket items.
might work.

i probably should put this in its own thread...but anyways...i had some time this morning after cryo'ing all my chars and made a n00b warrior...with no IMM's on at all and not really too worried about outcome of lvls and stuff i started completely naked...thats tough...so i was thinking...how about we (when i say we i guess i mean the powers that be) make a dispencer like whats in the bardic colleges and put it in the newbie room...newbie pulls handle and he is newbied...if he does not need the gear then he does not pull the handle...anyways...i just thought that it my be a good idea....

is it feasible to make a machine that logs the ip of the player using it to keep you from using the machine mulitiple times in a certain period of time...that way if you are recreating for stats you cannot reuse the machine....i dunno if this is all possible...its only an idea...anyways

Just another annoying suggestion. Rather than suspending newbie rent completely, which would take more coding than necessary. Severely drop rent cost on items in the newbie kit and found in the newbie zones.

hey, how about this idea instead?
suspend all rent for everyone, not just newbies.
it just might increase the player base.

nah, dont suspend it completely, then we will have no need to run gold! i suggest we drop rent to 1c per day and cryo to 4c. sounds like a good idea huh?

whew! talk about kicking a dead horse. Now you're just trolling for post counts.  What's next, hp and mana lights for newbies that get used more for sac than by newbies since we barely keep any newbies around? |

Simply put:
Step 1: NEWBIE SCHOOL with actual help, gear that doesn't get you killed by tobors, etc.
Step 2: you're already done
Step 3: Profit!

So we can what, get a few newbies that get butchered like cattle within 5 minutes and leave?
All it'll do is start the blame game again with the admins blaming all the newbie problems on the playerbase and continuing to plug the voting site.
I fully agree we need more new players but theres nothing in place right now to keep them here. We only retain 1 out of every 50 newbies or so because they get lost, killed, frustrated, etc. I'm not gonna launch the whole rant again, its in one of the game status threads after Air said nothing was wrong with the newbie areas.

I think they call this 'necroposting'  As in 'digging up dead horses to beat them again' EDIT: Here's a great link along this thread. redwing.hutman.net/%7Emreed/warriorshtm/necromancer.htm |

I am forced to quote myself to end this discussion with my usual efficiency. Simply put: Step 1: NEWBIE SCHOOL with actual help, gear that doesn't get you killed by tobors, etc. Step 2: you're already done Step 3: Profit! |

Last I heard Tam had volunteered to do so. That was a few years ago however.
