Shops And Kits

There should be basic and starter kits and you can town shops so the town earns money faster.

Kits
Starter
Full Leather Armour Set
16 Beef
Full Stone Tool Set
32 Torches

 

I believe new players currently get a set of stone tools and some food upon joining.
Before, new players would spawn at the portal island. (close to /mall blue) In this area you could buy cheap armor, tools and food, and there where rules and information. I personally spent a while in that area when I joined the server, and found it very useful. I don't know whether new players spawn there now or not, but I know the warp is currently disabled. (Doing /portal now, sends the player to hub)

Players who have the merchant rank, are able to bid on, and if they win, get a market stall whenever there is a shop auctions. But these auctions doesn't happen very often.
You can find the player shops at /mall green, red, blue and purple. Use the market page to figure out where you can buy the items you are looking for.

 

This was suggested before and rejected. On a survival server you are supposed to survive, not get things handed to you. Going from nothing to a fortune is what makes the game fun.

If towns had shops it would make matters more difficult for buyers. As of now if you want to buy from a shop you just have to visit one of the four malls to find what you need. If towns had shops as well you would have to visit dozens of malls to find what you want/need at the lowest price. That would simply be impractical.

 

yeah this is survival is about getting items and things by yourself and not rely on kits

 

Yeah, your right but if you start off wit something you might not die every time in the mine world/Wilderness.

 

I started with stone tools and now I own a shop and have 11,000 dollars built back up you really don't need a kit all you need is a sword and you will survive
