I'm going to point this out, not because I think anyone's dumb, but because I think people may not have had these experiences: It's not as off-topic as it seems. I play and have played several MUD's. Typically, if you're a beginner and you get help, there are two strategies people take to help you. Either they give you the very best they can get their hands on, which spoils the experience of gaming, or they help you get what's at your level, either because you broke or lost what you had or because they know of something right near what you have, in skill level, but that will help you out a bit.
I'm tying this back in now. If you can give in swamp, sure you could make ten newbies really strong, but why? They do need to master their skills, but if they die, and you out of the kindness of your heart, choose to reequip them, it won't hurt anyone. It won't ruin the thought of death being risky, as a gift is a gift, not a guarantee. Frankly though, the idea of giving in Swamp, though it could be used for this purpose, is much more of a good idea when you consider people out in the field running out of ammo on bridge duty, running out of medkits in a dangerous place. Yeah, you can heal others with medkits, and the problem of tracking players, which plagues a healer, would need to be fixed anyway if you're to give people stuff, but I think that giving people stuff is a way to make Swamp even greater.
