    I came up with an idea yesterday that worked rather well.
    I was talking to a new player that only had the sweat gatherer, and i offered her a job.

    I bought her a gun and some ammo, and told her to hunt petit red papoos at island girl spa for me. When she was done she hands over the musco crystals to me.
    The weapon, remaining ammo and loot was hers to keep. With the markup on musco i made a slight profit (nothing big, perhaps 1 ped, but still i made a profit)

    With this method she got a weapon, ammo, loot and skills for free, and i got a slight profit. Everyone wins and new players get a feel for the game and getting free stuff.

    What do you think?

    I came up with a similar idea yesterday and posed it to my society leadership for ironing out the details. :-)

    There are several scinarioes similar to this in which you can help players out :) They are always great esp when it also helps yourself.

    I think fappers are less useful on NI with the low dmg high hp mobs, but extra dps is always good to reduce defense decay and regen costs. When going hunting grab a noob or 5 and outfit them with opalos and you have a quicker kill and more fun, they get skills and you are more eco. (provided they return the loot and extra ammo they receive) This is fun for new players because it lets them see a larger scale of the game early on, most likely gives them a taste of the addicting sound and visuals of a global/hof and gets them more skills for free.

    i like this idea its the best so far not many post on your thread i wonder why tho

    hmm lets say it the players wit hgreed on their mind who want to do this with your idea want all the loot and keep all the profit for them selfs or take everything back and just leave the guy with free skills

    but yeah im all for this idea and will make it so we both profit aswell faire deals
