Beginner Protection

Beginner Protection (BP) shields new players from hostile actions for a period at the start of a world, giving time to establish an economy before PvP begins.

Duration

Duration depends on the world:

  • On 10× / early worlds: 24 hours, with an optional +24 hour extension.
  • On worlds: 3 days, with an optional +3 day extension (up to 6 days total).

The extension is available once per world; the extend prompt appears when there are a few hours left (originally ~6h; players later reported seeing it with ~18h remaining).

Ending Beginner Protection

  • BP ends early if you attack or raid another player — and, as of update 09/08, it ends when the attack/raid arrives, not when it is sent.
  • You can still choose to extend BP even after deciding to end it via an attack.

What you can and can’t do during BP

  • You can attack/raid Wilder Sites during BP (raiding was always possible; attacking is allowed, but it won’t reduce a site’s loyalty during BP, to stop “free” conquests before Ancient troops spawn).
  • Resource sending is restricted: the free “gift” feature and any trade better than 1:1 are disabled (anti multi-account funneling). Same-IP trades are capped at 1:1 / 1000 res / no multi-delivery. Sending to your own villages is allowed. (See Marketplace → send limits.)
  • You can update your Safe Time instantly (no 24h wait) during BP.
  • A guest account (no email) is valid only during the initial BP period; after that you must log in to continue.
  • The map shows an icon when a player has BP (or Safe Time) active.
