    Minecraft Name:SplotchyJester2

    Suggestion:I think there should be a /kitnew that gives you all diamond tools
    ,Food and other needed materials. Even a book that shows the rules
    Reason:I have to admit when i first joined ecocitycraft it was very challenging
    Because i had no clue what to do, about the forums or even how to make money. Another thing that happened Was i didnt know about spawnshops so i searched a lot for diamonds and tools and everything else.
    Any Other Information: It would only be usable 1 time per account and would make things easier

    While I do like this idea, our current ways of giving kits cannot easily limit accounts to one use only, the best way would be to set a high cooldown, but this is a hardcore economy, and we do have all of these implement in other ways, shapes, or forms.

    For example, "/kit starter" which is used once a day, gives users stone tools, a workbench, some wood, and food(maybe, I forget if this was re-added). These tools should be enough for users to get enough materials to start living on there own, though it may be hard to get started, but if you asked a moderator in spawn, or even some senior players that like to help in spawn they can answer all these question.

    For the rules book, we do have a command in-game called "/rules" which gives a very concise version of the server rules, which are found in full on the wiki. On how to make money, the command "/help money" gives a few of the most common ways to get money on this server. While these are not all-encompassing, the rest can be filled in by the moderators in spawn, or the senior players that normally do.

    No, there are many helpful mods and players out there that could lead you off in the right direction. /kit starter now gives you stone tools so you can get iron then diamonds. Sounds easy enough right?...

    I do like the way you are going with the suggestion for helping newer players out on the server, but I don't believe that this should be implemented. As a hardcore economy server, you shouldn't be able to type in a command and instantly have a set of diamond tools. There is already the /kit starter that gives some basic items like stone tools, wood, and a few porkchops for food. I think that that is enough and it more shouldn't be added to it. As for the rule book being included, it is a good idea to have something easy to access starting off, however there is the /rules command and the wiki that already exist to serve that purpose. As general stated, if players still need help there are moderators and experienced players that are willing to lend a hand and help them get started.

    Well General, you could make it so the kit could only be usable every year xD.

    I have 2 ideas that could help out this suggestion, however im not for it, nor am i against it, just thought i should add this.

    Idea 1, With the essentials plugin you can make it so a user gets a kit the first time they join the server, this would mean a bit of config editting for andrewkm, however it is possible, and not to hard to do.

    Idea 2, You can add a specific plugin (dont know link atm) that can use commands when a user does /kit (kitname), now the idea would be that maybe you add a rank before builder, have it have the same prefix, and perms, other than that the first rank gets the specific kit, When the user then does the command for the kit, they get a rank up to the regular builder rank, and get the special items.

    However I think /kit starter is actually enough for us users, however those are 2 ideas that could maybe be added.

    Yeah maybe having it you can use it once a year and only as builder because people generally arent builders for a year. Or even as pbrassat17 said maybe it could be a plugin that whan you join you automatically get this stuff.
