Cash for n00bs

Apr 21, 2003 HumpyThePenguin link
OK when I started playing Vendetta, i was a little discouraged because i was completely broke. What if, say we give staring players a nominal amount of cash, like 100 creds mabye. That might be enough to buy a single better weapon to help with botting, or buy an item for those who cant kill a thing.

P.S. I hope the (all holy) Devs read this. :)

Already discussed. People can exploit it though.

Step 1: Create a new character. Get a hundred bucks.
Step 2: Have someone transfer a hundred bucks to your original account.
Step 3: Delete your new character.
Step 4: Repeat.

Good idea, but seriously flawed.

Bah.
Step 1: Create a new character. Get a hundred bucks
Step 2: Trade
Step 3: Repeat
Tada! You have more money than you would get by doing that in the same amount of time!
If you're really worried about it, you could put a cap on the amount of characters each person can make in a given time (e.g. 10 per day, or 1kc per day)

How about this, each account will have 4k in n00b funds, each character created gets 1k credits, only for the first 4 chars, why would a n00b even make 5 chars?

Well, it could be done this way: Give the 5k stipend, and until a player's score is at least 10k, they cannot give away money IN AN AMOUNT that would leave them with less than 5k. They can spend it, sure, just not give it away.

10k score? Ooof... Make it more like 1 or 2k... I was at about 3k score when I was on gold after I'd reset my character.
