Newbie Box

Why not have both? Realistically there's not always going to be a high level player online that will A) Get newbies/lowbies gear and B) Get newbies/lowbies gear for free. In such a case they can always go get their own to tide them over.

And a "boxhist" command as well!

Maybe some newbie rose should be added to mobs in Ishtar?

I like the idea of boss mobs in Ishtar, but they should just barely be stronger than normal mobs. Perhaps the best way would be to make a cloned version of a normal mob and place them in corner regions.

Another way we could go is to have the newbie lever autopop some extra gear: newbie rose, newbie bracer, and a newbie (clan specific) weapon.

As a form of additional boxdrops for newbie character, beyond the previously proposed gear, we could add a donate command. This command would be a cloned version of discard, but it would have extra steps that would autoclone the discarded items into a box at the entrance to Ishtar. We could even add a form of Gstatus for newbie helping: newStatus. This would not be too difficult, but there would be some novelty for older players to start new characters (just so they could run amok with crazy gear inside Ishtar).

Whatever way this could go, there should be some extreme benefits to playing from lvl 0 to around lvl 20. Not only would this give the possibility of a larger playerbase, but it would remind players how things were before they had those first 200 levels--better insights into how the realm should develop.
