Hello to all and sundry

[Kyte_]

welcome aboard the disco train, prepare to never truly leave!

I share your frustration about giving new players money, but players can do what they wish, its difficult to say such a thing is totally oorp (it was probably a pittance to the offering party, therefore easily done to overcome an annoyance), but it does subtract from the receiving players discovery experience...

call me silly but I enjoy building a character up from scratch.

Indeed, it is fun to build. However, I see no problem with allowing a noob a few breadcrumbs, advice, and a nudge in the wallet. No reason to set them completely up, as mentioned before, would rob them of experience they would benefit from. But then, plenty of factions out there offer complete setups. Go figure.

JMHO
