{{CultureInfobox|image=M it99 june26.png|culture_type=Behaviour|location=|date=|origin=[[m_it99]]|status=|creation_date=|creator=|creation_location=|size=}}'''Mitism''' is a game philosophy concerning [[philanthropy]] on [[Legendary Hardcore]]. The philosophy holds that the early game is one of the most immersive, fun and memorable parts of the hardcore experience, and that giving out starter kits therefore takes away from [[Grame|new players]] rather than helping them. It stands in opposition to [[Locism]].

== Beliefs ==
Mitism holds that individual progression and the tension from early-game hazards and resource scarcity create memorable and meaningful experiences on Legendary Hardcore. Under Mitism, kits given out detract from the enjoyment and immersion of the server. A player's first hours on Legendary Hardcore are often their most formative, and many players players come to miss the experience of the early game once they are established in the late game. This feeling is felt by some players to such an extent that they attempt the [[Chili Challenge]], in which they give up their possessions and travel to the [[Spawn Region]] to restart their progression.

''If all these players I'm messaging are saying they don't want kits, then what's going to change in the future? Are these players going to suddenly want kits allowing me to hand out all 50? I don't think so. What I've realized from all of this is that most players want to prove that they can survive. And most importantly, this server is about more than just being alive. It's about surviving. So, even though I still have a bunch of kits left, I'm not going to hand them out. Instead, I'm going to let these players face the challenges that make this server so enjoyable.''
