Posted April 10, 2017 A question I'm currently conflicted with, is what will you start with? When you first load up the game, what will you start with? Will you be an infant child, naked on the ground, with no money? or will you be given starter money, a set of chosen clothes from the customization menu? or will all of this just be dependent on the server administrators and how they see it best fit? I understand they want to make it where everything is hard to get, money is realistic, and clothes are more of a cosmetic more than a necessity, but where is the line drawn between needing to be realistic, and making it where players don't have to beg for money on the streets to begin actually enjoying the game? I'd love to hear some of the communities opinions on this. ~ SummitsEdge Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 10, 2017 (edited) If you've pledged for any rewards,including cash money you will be receiving those when you start. You will be starting as an adult with basic clothes(nothing fancy like the designer stuff we will see in game that will be up for purchase). You will start with a basic apartment and from there its up to you to find a job and earn money. I am assuming the devs will give us a small amount of money to start (100 dollars seems reasonable) so we won't be completely broke,it might also be on official servers only that we are given the starting money. Rest assured that you won't be begging there are a lot of ways to make money in game and prices will be realistic so I am estimating a burger meal will cost u around 5-8 dollars and a shirt which isn't like a brand name will be around 20. So you won't ever be begging, provided u have a steady income. Money won't be hard to get they will just make things realistic, so you will be able to find a job that pays you a decent wage and you will be able to fulfill your needs with that money. You just won't be a millionaire overnight(if uve played island life you know what Im talking about) Hope that helps Edited April 10, 2017 by Luck 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted April 11, 2017 Is there an actual way where you can sit on the ground and beg for money? That would be pretty funny to see some people be beggars. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
