    The game isn't supposed to be easy. It's based off the skyblock survival map, in which you get less then on the actual server (since you can't do /kit bones, trade with other players or simply go to a warp and kill animals to get food).

    It's supposed to be a challenge, it's a game after all. If you make things too easy right off the start, people will get bored, faster. You see people all the time say things like "I've built up my island and now there's nothing to do." So why make that process faster? Plus, if they don't have to work as hard to get the materials to start, they may not appreciate their island as much.

    You start off with a way to get wood, cobble and beef, you just have to work for it a little.

    Besides, we all start off as non-donors and although I'm sure there are cases, most people don't donate as soon as they start playing. Everyone struggles at the start, as I said, it's part of the game. I fell off my island at least 20 times, sometimes dying with several stacks of cobble I'd spent awhile mining. :D

    Your heart is in the right place, I just feel that this suggestion goes against the spirit of the game. So I have to say no support. :heart: Maybe others will disagree with me though, just my point of view.

    Why make a kit of stuff you can easily get when starting off?

    Sorry, no support, this has been requested many times.

    As Keeper said, Skyblock is meant to be hard. It is meant so if you don't do something correctly, you fail. You don't get a sapling, you fall off the edge, lose your bucket, it's hard to obtain (Except for players xD). Also, the kits are there to encourage people to donate.

    Many suggestions like this have been denied.
    Why should non-donors get free stuff from the server even though they never donated to the server.
    And
    Imma Greenbean too :D

    Again we've all been non-donators at some point (well most of us)
    For me time=money
    Spend money and get the stuff the easy way (But of course you had to work for that money)
    Or spend the time and get the stuff the harder way (This time you don't have to spend time earning money)
    For me I bought the donor package because well it's about 2 hours of work so because I like the server so much I donated.

    No support sorry.

    To be perfectly honest, while this suggestion will probably not happen, I believe in at least one small kit. Whether it be a sapling a week, a couple a bones a day, it would help. Although a small kit like that would be in case type thing because those items are available anyway, it large quantities, at warps. It doesn't affect the difficulty of the game since non donors get handed those things for free most times anyway due to donors not using them (like me). Literally would make no difference if there was a kit like org's or hb's, just longer wait time. Theres my ramblings :p

    This is still a big kit for someone that didn't donate. I think that some bones and a sapling every 3 days would be fair. Remember, the whole point of this server is to make $.

    Also, no support. I don't think it is necessary to hand out wood and cobble in these quantities through a kit to anyone. It only takes a few seconds to mine 10 cobble and since you can usually gather wood quite well once you've build a tree-farm (which you are supposed to put time and effort in and not just have fly from the sky ;)) you probably don't need wood from your kit either.
    As for the beef, well, on .net there's a warp where you can farm all the food you want. :D

    This idea was rejected before and I'll reject it again. Any form of kit for non-donors would be the equivalent of chopping one tree or mining for all of 30 seconds. There's no point, and skyblock is meant to be a challenge anyway. Kits and the like are perks given to those who help support the server.
