Suggestion: Scale fresh spawn items with server progression.

So its essentially a given that most servers die in a couple days. This is due to people leaving the server due to lack of server attachment/progression, but also to an extreme lack of fresh players to replace them. If im starting fresh why not just start on a freshly wiped server.

One way to help mitigate this problem is to improve the starting items as the server ages. On wipe day nothing changes, but then on day 2, instead of a rock you start with a boneclub, and on day 4 you start with stone tools. This way you balance a fresh start with a fast start, and make starting up on a more progressed server far less frustrating. Simply put, giving some upside to joining an older server could help extend server lifetime.
