An idea for new player retention, after the Tutorial is done and completed; you get a mini donator pack, a nice wee pick me up. 

But there should be that little bit more to incentivise players. I think 2m and a number of construction materials, 50 nails, 100 bricks, 50 concrete and 25 steel. This where some ideas of a potential newbie kit could come into play. 

But i don't want to introduce account creation off the back of free resources, that moderators simply can't keep up with? 

Suggestions? It saves veterans having to come, to save the 'proverbial' day.. giving out resources... because the new players want a free ride.

Problem I see with giving people freebies is people making multi accounts (Like they did for the Christmas collectable) 

There is plenty of space for new players to make money, farming fert/agave. People just don't want to do it because they're lazy.

The amount of people I've seen take to Global Chat to beg instead when if they spent 1/2 hours on jobs they would probably have 1/2m just like that.

 

If you are giving to give someone an incentive to play maybe make the Mini-Donator pack 15 days instead so they can type in chat without having to deal with cooldowns so they can talk with the community more and also use that vital energy on int/gym. Again keeping it untradable though. And maybe give them another one when they reach Level 10? Makes more sense considering the price of Supporter Packs now also.

Posting Global chat text here:

KWYY: I really like the idea of giving them a mini (non tradeable) dp but the rest is up to them
KWYY: Essentially a 14 day try before you buy thing
ABNO: Maybe like 5 or so free refills too
ABNO: After the tutorial
KWYY: This type of game appeals to a relatively small number of people, you have to put the work in to get it back. If you can't be bothered finding a guide or figuring things out for yourself then this game really isn't for you
KWYY: A lot (probably most) of us come from Torn where it's seriously harder to make any inroads compared to CE
KWYY: I'm not remotely suggesting Torn is perfect (because it most definitely isn't) but you can't hand everything to new players on a plate or they're just going to get screwed over a few weeks/months down the line
KWYY: The community here is incredibly different from Torn (for the most part people are incredibly helpful - except to beggars perhaps) but if someone has taken the time to read a guide and still has questions then I've helped out no end of new
KWYY: players - and I can certainly say that a lot of others have too
ABNO: I think if they stuck around for a week. They might get into it
KWYY: Perhaps we, as a community could write some better updated guides perhaps
ABNO: Wiki has lack of information too i noticed
KWYY: The difficulty with Wiki's (especially for this type of game) is that it can't contain _everything_ because that takes away the want to improve/find things out for yourself etc
KWYY: Otherwise you're just following a manual

14 days of donator status after completing the main tutorial mission would be better. There is should be npc giving mission and showing things around that gives basic starting gear or just some energy

Lyrics — Let Down
Transport, motorways and tramlines
Starting and then stopping
Taking off and landing

The emptiest of feelings
Disappointed people
Clinging onto bottles

Let down and hanging around
Crushed like a bug in the ground
Let down and hanging around...
