Atom Smash40 Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Description: Santas invade World 7 on Christmas Day to hand out gifts to people!Date: 12/25/2011Time: Start at ideally 10 AM US EST (GMT -5), lasts all dayWorld: 7 (F2P)Location: Meet at Varrock Square, make our way to Lumbridge, and then we scatter all over the F2P worldRSN: Atom Smash40Contact info: PM on TIF or post in this thread I thought of this great idea and I hope I get many volunteers to partake. It involves dressing up in a Santa suit and Santa hat (if you have one). What I want to do is run around F2P World 7 and hand out freebies to newbs (note the spelling, not n00bs). Basically, I would like to find low leveled, new players (levels 3-10) that have just started to play RS and need a little boost. I've prepared an inventory with newbie starter gear: *ignore the Rune armor sets at the bottom* Note that I have enough supplies for 450 handouts that go as follow: Should the newbie wish to become a melee-based player: 1x Iron armour set (lg)1x Iron scimitar1x Iron battleaxe1x Iron 2h sword1x Leather gloves1x Leather boots If they want to be a ranger: 1x Leather cowl1x Leather body1x Leather chaps1x Leather vambraces1x Shortbow500x Iron arrow1x Leather boots If they want to be a mage: 1x Wizard hat1x Wizard robe1x Blue skirt1x Air staff350x Mind rune80x Water rune180x Earth rune300x Fire rune*enough runes for casts to get them to at least 17 magic*1x Leather gloves1x Leather boots Now you may be asking, "What about the noobs who beg or ask for stuff"? Well, there is only one rule for this event: Do not give stuff out to those who ASK. Unfortunately, this will be harder than it seems as 90% of F2P is bots, 9% are beggars, and 1% actually just wanna play. I don't expect to hand out every single item, and that's OK. I can save them for next Christmas if I need to. Now here is what I would like of you, the participants: You don't have to be as thorough as me in what is handed out; you can decide to only hand out weapons or raw materials. I'd prefer if you didn't hand out straight cash as my goal is to encourage the new players to USE their newly received gear and not sell it for money. Unfortunately, most likely 80% of those receiving the free gear will end up just selling it. Their loss. What they do after they receive their gifts is out of my control. NOTE: I am asking you to do this out of the kindness of your heart and to keep the game of RS alive. If you cannot afford to give away things, then don't sign up. You can tag along and watch, though. I'm am also not asking you to make your inventory the same as mine. In case you were wondering, my inventory sans the Rune armour sets values at over 2.5M. I can afford to give out such gifts. If you cannot or don't want to, but still want to give SOMETHING away, then you can give away what you think a newbie would find useful. The goal of this is not to give them a massive 50k bank (the max given away in a single trade will not be more than 10,000gp. If it is, it won't be by much) off the start of the game. I really don't want to be the only one doing this (from tip.it, anyway) on Christmas Day. And if for some reason I cannot be on Christmas day for a prolonged period of time to hand out these gifts, I WILL give them to someone who can spare the time. Thanks for reading.

K4ylan Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 This is a great idea, and I love it, but you're too early. I'd wait until ~week before Christmas to start recruiting.

Atom Smash40 Posted November 16, 2011 Author Share Posted November 16, 2011 Month and a half bump! Already got a donation from the famous OTM :) And I've already started giving stuff away because I realized that there's no way in hell I'll be able to give 450 newbs in a single world all this stuff in one day. I'm aiming to get down to at most 120 per class by December 25th. ~ 3,072nd to 99 Mining on August 30th, 2009 ~~ 112,084th to 99 Magic on April 16th, 2011 ~~ 131,681st to 99 Crafting on March 29, 2019 ~~ 178,385th to 99 Prayer on April 2, 2019 ~~ 234,921st to 99 Defence on May 9, 2019 ~~ 173,480th to 99 Herblore on June 21, 2019 ~~ 155,160th to 99 Smithing on July 16, 2019 ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TitanicWhip Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Sounds like a good idea! Since I live in +12 GMT zone I could do a few hours of this on Boxing Day morning (for the US players who will be playing on Xmas day).I'm willing to dedicate a couple of hours to keep F2P alive! Also, instead of giving out iron armour and noob stuff, give them steel armour/weps so they will have to get a few levels up before they can use the items.

Atom Smash40 Posted December 4, 2011 Author Share Posted December 4, 2011 ^ not a bad idea. But remember, you don't have to mimic my inventory. You can give them whatever gear you wish (though try to keep it low leveled and worthless so they don't just sell it for money :() Update: I'm not going to get rid of 100+ sets of gear so I dropped my inventory down to 50 of each (more manageable, and I get some money back from selling). ~ 3,072nd to 99 Mining on August 30th, 2009 ~~ 112,084th to 99 Magic on April 16th, 2011 ~~ 131,681st to 99 Crafting on March 29, 2019 ~~ 178,385th to 99 Prayer on April 2, 2019 ~~ 234,921st to 99 Defence on May 9, 2019 ~~ 173,480th to 99 Herblore on June 21, 2019 ~~ 155,160th to 99 Smithing on July 16, 2019 ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
