Setting Starting Balances

Give your members a warm welcome — and a meaningful first step.

Every member’s journey begins the moment they join your server.

A starting balance gives them something to hold, something to use, and something to look forward to. It sets the tone for your entire economy: welcoming, intentional, and full of possibility.

A good starting balance creates early momentum:

• Members feel included from day one

• They immediately understand your economy has value

• They have enough currency to explore, save, and participate

Small numbers can create big feelings - so let’s set them up thoughtfully.
