I was just thinking..
 
I'm a newbie here so I might make mistakes here. Be nice please. (:
Well, when you're a newbie...you're naked. It would be nice to have at least a few starter items, a simple shirt and a pair of pants with shoes. ^__^

This has been suggested many times before, and then shot down many times after.


Menewsha is a site that works on a 'you have what you earn, you earn what you get' philosophy. Every users who has something made a small commitment to get those items.

In the shops there are cheap and simple things that you can get, from a cheap rag shirt (Which I think is cute and still wear) to various cheap accessorys.

We get a lot of people wanting starter items, mainly those from Gaia it has to be said. We're not keen to be honest; we've always said that we like everyone to earn what they get on here, not just be handed stuff as they walk in the door.
If we ever did do anything like starter clothes we'd never just give them to people when they joined, they'd have to do something to earn them.

There are plenty of cheap clothing for newbies
It's called the basic set
play some games
or post around
and you'll have some clothes in no time

Ohh okay, thank you. ^__^

Items that are given as starters are percieved as being worse than being naked anyway, trust me.

be proud of your undies ^^ we don't discriminate if your wearing nothing :)

Captain Howdy 04-16-2009 07:18 AM

That's true. Mene has always prided itself on having users, for the most part, who don't discriminate a person solely on their pixels. Of course you'll find the odd user here and there who do factor in a person's imaginary wealth when interacting with them. But thankfully we don't have many here. ;D

Yeah, that again is a hold-over from Gaia, people bring those pre-conceptions with them. But once they've been on here for a while they stop caring about being or looking "rich", as we're not a bunch of elitist jerks here so you just don't get that kind of judgemental behaviour.

NiccaWoodStar 04-24-2009 12:57 PM

Hooray for the nice personality of the people of Mene! :boogie:
Lock please. ^^

Also, theres items that are very cheap that you can earn from one good game of tetris or from a few posts, like rags, and yellow bowtie. Also, you can get CI's if you want items.

I like avatars that look good, I could care less if they look 'rich' or not. And some of the best layering I've seen people use is with the cheaper items. You don't have to be a bajillionaire to have a nice avatar here.

That's because Menewsha was smart and made the store items attractive. They didn't hog all the pretty stuff for only CIs to make you feel compelled to empty your bank account to make your pixels attractive. Yay for intelligence and amazing pixelists!
