Hello fellow EMC members. I, for the past couple of months, have given items to members right as they join the empire once they reach town. I think that it is an effort to help the new players get on their feet and get a head start to catch up to us members who have been playing for a while. I think that we, as a community, should do this as much as possible. Some items i've given to new players are: seeds (all types) stone (cobble or normal) saplings (lots of a couple types) other items such as new 1.5 items If you want to help with this, then just meet a new player once they finish the tutorial and enter town. Then give them items that you want them to have. I do not just give away stuff that I don't want anymore. It is quite the opposite. I give them items that I think they will need.
