My group is currently working on a small area for newbies and other landless avatars to be able to set home to that's not full of a crushing throng of people like so many of the infohubs and other newbie-oriented locations have become. It contains a small park, an underground room to change, and some free landmarks to places of learning and hopefully some more stuff, we ran outta prims and need to buy more land. >_<
What is a good legitimate way to get newbie traffic? Anything that offers free money is out, because of scammers. Money trees, lucky chairs, etc are frightfully gamed. That leaves us with free sex, which is totally out o_o;;; and freebies, which many people do much better.
