Easier for new comers.

To address the problems for newcomers.
I been lisitening in O chat and every now and then there are newbies that ask for help because they are stuck in the graveyard, not because of PVPers but that they are not level 10 yet and therefore have no recall, they have wandered away from spawn in curiosity only to die and revive in a graveyard with no Recall point and no supplies.
Often asking for help or food and dying again to land in the same graveyard and this might cycle over and over.

Not all graveyards are situated in woodland/planes that would spawn passive mobs for food like deserts might I add.

I suggest that there should also be food for sale at the graveyard simply because redstone might not be an option for a player.

Problem with that is depending on how new the person is, they might not have the coin to purchase food either. =P

People can start out with 6 coins if they vote
basically a freebie.

People really need to look back on THEIR the first day and withdraw any notion of a group, no support from others and now add in FACT that there random people who have diamond armor and weapons who are out there to destroy you in a matter of seconds. Would you stay?

While it's hardcore I agree I am trying to figure out how to keep the population of people to stay longer then their impression that they just cant survive. They sorta need a sub-conscious walkthough like an intro to one of those FPS. You start out and they don't tell you want to do but you insistingly pick it up.

You know, you never played this game before but you know how to do all the moves or eventually figure it out by fiddling around the buttons.

Yes true, but it would depend on how much you can purchase the food for. Wouldn't higher levels be apt to purchase it as well?

I agree and that's the only problem I see, and thats where this arguments starts to fall.
People will be clever and abuse this system that is intended for helping newcommers if implemented.

only way to counter is to overprice the food like 4 steak for 6 coins.

And if they die again they will not be able to purchase more food.

The only way it would work, would be to just add food chests at all graveyards, and allow everyone to purchase from them.

Trust me I like the idea of the food chests in the graveyard to help out new peoples.

Is it possible for the Admins to make a chest that is only able to be used by someone who is level 1 - 9? If that is the case, it could be possible to have a food chest like that.

It would need a level restriction as well as a limit of how many can be purchased per a certain amount of time. If not I could see a lower level players buying 400 steaks from money transferred to them. Great idea. Would be neat to be able to purchase a survivors kit when you are a newbie.

It would be nice but depending on price and what food could set a market on food prices that should be set by players imho. In another idea if you do not have a mark set you respawn at Dragongarde.
