Title: Donating for newbies
Post by: Bloodst3r on June 28, 2010, 11:57:48 AM
Heya all :),

I made a new topic since the new rules say, one topic per suggestion, so yeah mainly I got this idea from haseeb's suggestion.

A summary of the changes that you want A new command to donate
The advantages of this change happening Will help newbies, and let them stay on the server.
The disadvantages of this change happening I don't see any tbh.
Any script snippets which provide the feature that you want -

Thats how it should go regulars will/may use the command /donate < ammount > and then newbies can take the donated money by using /borrow < ammount >, and only people who has less than 35 hours can use this command, every 30 / 40 minutes only.

I was thinking about " Where will the cash be stored ? " I didn't really think about this, however it should be saved with LWBot or something :D

Feel free to give opinions.

Then a regular could come undercover and take all the cash from any sucker who thought he was helping the new kids.

If this could be added to the rules, IF an admin found out that someone who is a regular on LWs and logged with a new nick to withdraw the cash from the donation acc, he'd get banned.

But I don't guess any of our regulars would do such a thing..

No, I don't think that newbies should recieve money for free, that's just stupid, omg  :-\  Give them money for finishing the tutorial or making a gang with at least 5 newbies in it etc. etc. Teach them how to play instead of giving everything for free  :-X

I dont know why every newbie pm's me for help.well they ask questions like this
1   where to buy weapons
2   how to earn money
3   give me money

so lw should create a system so newbiers should get answers of these questions and money also

This is an awesome idea. Giving new players money for doing the tutorial. Brilliant, you should suggest it somewhere :D

yes a tutorial would be very nice for new ones, and helps a lot!

Just thought about that one again.

Would be cool, but:
The cash borrowed should be taken away from the player's bank account again (like 10% every in-game week (the more hours the more %)?).

Didn't actually read the hole topic, but I don't think that newbies should get somesort of money by others donating it to them. It's being made easier and easier every day to earn money in LW, but this would be abused so easily.

I agree with the fact that the money shoudn't be given to newbies like that.
Right now, they already have a way to earn easy money by exporting vehicles.
Also if that tutorial idea is to be implemented soon, they will have some extra money aswell.

I think making it too easy for new players, taking away the challenge, might just have an opposite effect and keep them away.

Robby, it still too easy. What is more if newbies dunno anything about the gamemode, they will just loose the money and get annoyed. Giving a newbie 100k and saying "have some fun" has no sense for me :/

Well I haven't voted because I don't know if I like this idea, but I saw this:

What?? LW has been always extremely hard for new players!!! (although fortunately today it's easier than before), and that's one of the reasons why it has few players, so we MUST make things easier for new players!!
