How to Get more New Players?

[Telados]

One of the things that discouraged me from starting on P99 was that with such a low lvl population lvling was a pain without gear.

Do you think that if there were some way to legitimately identify unique new players and hand them trash gear in ec - that owuld help get new player faces?

i'm not talking about giving out jade maces - but a suit of say cured silk - would go a long way.

what do you think?

The problen is ofcourse figuring out who is a genuine new player - an impossible task to do? too much ability to con any system?
