New Player Protection

New Player Protection is given to every account in their first 14 days of playing (including age zero). The moment the age turns 14 (beginning of 15th day), New Player Protection is lost.

New Player Protection is indicated by a green leaf in the icons, with the flavor text Newbie.

Mechanics

At its core, the New Player Protection provides protection from the main community. In turn the main community is (mostly) protected from the new player as well.

  • The new player can attack/be attacked by players that are under New Player Protection.
    • The new player can attack players that are not under New Player Protection.
    • The new player cannot be attacked by players that are not under New Player Protection.
    • The new player cannot be attacked for the first 24 hours from registering, even by other players under New Player Protection.
  • The new player can receive a bounty from players that are under New Player Protection. Once the new player's account is 24 hours old, they may bounty players who are not under New Player Protection. [1]
    • The new player cannot bounty/receive a bounty by players that are not under New Player Protection.

Faction Wars

New Player Protection is temporarily ignored when the player is participating in a faction war, such as raiding, territory walls or ranked wars. This means that other players without New Player Protection can attack and bounty the new player. New Player Protection is restored upon leaving the faction or the war ends.
