New player protection

Starting at level 1, you can set your PVP mode to Peace or Duel. Duel means you can challenge the players but you will not gain any Wickedness Points.

Players in PK mode can not attack anyone below level 12. This is to prevent "grieving".

Once you reach level 24, you can turn on PK mode and you can kill other people.

When you join a team, you cannot attack your teammates.

If your Wickedness Points gets too high and you become"red-name", you are automatically forced by system on PK mode. This means anyone can attack you at any time.

1.3 Wickedness Points

The amount of Wickedness Points you earn from killing other players is determined by how much of a difference there is between your level and theirs. If you PK players whose level are much lower than yours, you should prepare to pay for your deeds.

2. Reducing Wickedness Points

You can reduce your Wickedness Points as follows:

 

2.1 Reducing Wickedness through Reputation:

When your wanted level is 0, you may reduce your Wickedness Points by offsetting them with your Reputation Points. To do so, find the Life Guide in Gongyi and he will demand 5 Reputation Points from you for each Wickedness Point removed.

 

2.2 Crime Reduction with Regrettable Pills:

If you've been given Regrettable Pills by the Prison Jailer or the Life Guide in Gongyi, you can remove a random amount of Wickedness Points (no more than 100 per pill) by taking the pill.

 

2.3 Crime Reduction in prison:

When your wanted level is 1 or lower, you can confess your crime to the Life Guide in Gongyi to reduce your Wickedness Points.

When your Wanted Level is 2 or 3, you'll revive in prison every time you die. You will also have to stay in prison for a half an hour. While in prison, your Wickedness Points will reduce at a rate of 3 points per minute. You cannot reduce your Wickedness Points outside of prison. The prison is a safe area. After 30 minutes in prison, you'll be released. Killing the Thin Eel Devils in prison will yield a Regrettable Pill, which can be consumed to further reduce your Wickedness Points.

 

2.4 Bilateral World:

Once you exit the prison, you'll be in the Bilateral World. This is a dangerous area through which you must traverse to get back into the normal game world. The monsters in Bilateral World are also Thin Eel Devils.
