@Shangalar: thanks for the details. This sounds good enough.

@Artificial Emotion: The "no protection at all" means that whoever comes late to the game has an even more difficult time to accommodate. Add the inevitable jerks and all fun flies out of the window when you're getting stalked in the first town by someone with combat armor and assault rifle while you've spent a few hours shoveling brahmin shit to make enough money to buy your first 10mm pistol. Then loose everything in a moment. Personally I don't have the patience for this. Whoever does it, good for them. There is no game that will fit everyone.

Hi guys,

I was wondering what is being done to protect new players from being killed by higher level guys in the starting areas? This was the main reason I stopped playing the other Fallout Online instances. It was terribly frustrating to shovel shit for an hour only to be killed as soon as you made a couple hundred caps.

Do you still loose all your inventory upon death? While I understand the reason "in-universe", it's again terribly frustrating to loose everything because of a bad luck encounter. Or some other gun-happy dude who likes to rob newbies.

There will be people who can't join from moment zero and can't spend the time to play hours and hours to advance quickly before others. There will be people who play alone, without the backup of a group of friends. These people can be easy prey for unscrupulous players. While you can't hold everyone's hand forever, one should be able to advance a few levels and build enough gear and experience in a safe environment. Otherwise it degenerates into a wank fest of "let's p0wn the newbies", because there will always be jerks that will abuse the liberties of the system.

Cheers and hope to start playing with you when the game launches.
