    Some server called Overcast does this, and it seems to work really well. If you give every new player 1 week of VIP, they're a lot more likely to stay and possibly donate.

    That might be a good idea, but it also might not. But it could be a good solution to make a rank called Newbie or something, that gives you a better starter pack for new players.
    I still think it's a good idea though, +1

    That was done in McPvP and it didn't really work out. I usually went easy on people with the newbie rank (yellow-named), but a lot of people just targeted them. It'd have worked quite well if people didn't exploit it =c

    What are you going to do about players that have already joined Brawl for quite a long time? Do they also recieve the 'One Week' vip?

    No they don't, as they are already good enough to not have VIP. It would be only for new player who just joined.

    If its easy enough to do, give them VIP until its been a week since they joined, otherwise it doesn't really matter.

    There's still going to be people that are going to argue on how unfair it is that other people got vip and they didn't. How are you fixing that?

    I doubt any new people would know about it unless they get the VIP. There was no arguments on Overcast when it happened.

    There used to be a NOOB rank on Party simaler to this. If we did do this it would be better to bring this back instead.

    Nice Idea! You would have to call it something else, but good one

    I dont think that is fair to us, we never got 1 week of vip when we first joined. I will give this a -1.

    Just give one week of vip to everyone who has already joined, and then give the one week of vip to the noobs.

    Amazing idea!
    The noob rank was for like 200 hours or something that big if i remember right (i had it for weeks of active playing) so maybe it should be changed to like 10 hours or something. Or like 100 hours time from when you first logged on. But the rank was nice to have. What if you just get a message when you come on saying something like "you have vip for x hours because of something like that youre a newcomer"

    Maybe just give everyone this when they first join after the update?

    1 week of VIP isn't exactly much, you're hardly missing out on anything. However, if a new player got a week of VIP when they first joined the server, it'd give them much more incentive of staying. I think you're thinking too much about how this'll benefit you more so than the server.

    I don't know what it was like, but I don't think it should be called the noob rank. On McPvP, new players got a noob rank and would get targeted a lot - you shouldn't be able to tell the difference between someone who bought VIP and someone whose new.

    Whenever you get vip then go on Party you get about 7000 coins but we dont have that much.

    It is an interesting idea, but I see one problem that can easily be solved: A new player may join just for a minute and then disconnects and doesn't come back for the next days. So instead of giving them one week of VIP they receive a VIP rank for let's say 10 hours playtime.

    The rank duration would be short and everytime you use another account you would lose your progress, making this pointless for most servers.
