It has come to my attention that Res doesn't have much of a newbie pack. Users get a Job Tower Token. Awesome. ;) But why not give them more?

 

In most other sites, Newbie Packs contain a toy, some food, a weapon or two, and a book. So here's my idea of what bring to make the Newbie Welcoming Committee a little more... hospitible.

 

- Random Pizza

- Random Eclair

- Random drink

- Basic Wooden Shield

- Basic Shield

- Newbie Squishy (probably one we could create specifically for the Newbie pack)

- The Complete Guide to SPAM or/and The Rules of Rescreatu*

- Job Tower Token

 

So what do you guys think? Should we add more, take someitems away? Do you like this idea, or do you want to scrap it?

 

* This book doesn't have text, we should convince Pat to put the rules in there. ;D

hmm sometimes a newbie pack also consists of ONE rare item.

but then again they'd probably waste it not knowing what it is.

but, i agree with what we'd be putting in ti if we ever decided to make one.

its a good idea.

a little like neopets.

but a good idea :D

lol. Neopets isn't the only site with a newbie pack. There are a few other small websites that produce one for the newbies, including avatar sites. It'd just be nice to make the users feel more welcome that they'll stay longer. lol.

i think its a great idea to make newbies feel welcome and on a special day all newbies can get a rare item but it should come with an rmail full of info so they dont waste it

LaTainted- Not a bad idea, except it didn't exsist when I started so I don't benifit from it...I know I'm a selfish old girl.

How about also-

- A guide on how to update/improve your profile for those of us who have no idea about computers, yes, I know it's not a great idea, but I would have found it useful when i started.

Total approvance!(yes, I know it's not a word)  I particularly like the Rules and SPAM book additions!  We can at least hope that this would cut down on those who unknowingly spam with chatspeak, etc. and do not get it until it is too late.

The problem with having a guide for profiles, is that it takes away the business from the few users who create profiles for currency or items. We definitely don't want to have those users to lose their way of earning tu.

Whitters: So making a guide for HTML and CSS wouldn't be a good idea? Even if it WAS basic?

I wouldn't want to take away from others D:

maybe users could also start out with one pet too not an amazing one but maybe like a sepia something or other and we can have a user donation pot that can give small amounts of tu each day for a week or a few days to new players

If they refresh twice on one page on any of the four planets, they will find an egg. We don't really need to give newbies a creatu. We want to make them feel welcomed and also that they have to work a bit more, not pampered and "Everything is here for you."

A very nice idea. Wolf agrees :) But maybe, it would be nice if an Egg is included in the pack. Besides, most of these things are for the Creatu =3.
