Read well, important! Your choice you make cannot be changed!

To give new players or accounts a fair start, you can use beginner protection. There are a number of restrictions to avoid abuse. You can choose to be both protected and restricted, or neither. The beginner protection lasts 3 days. It is impossible to change this in the meantime so make your choice carefully. You have either have protection for 3 days or you have no protection at all. There is nothing in between. Remember that this feature is meant to protect new players and to give players a choice to avoid low rank wars. The protection is not meant to be used for anything beyond that.

What restrictions will I face when protected?

• You cannot attack other players.
• You cannot steal from other players.
• You cannot trade with other players through CBay
• The crew will come down hard on you if you (try) to abuse the protection for scamming, faking or other types of site abuse. <:-)
• Players can transfer up to 100 million per bank transaction.
• When you own more than 250 million, players cannot transfer you money.
• Players cannot choose you as their heir and you will not receive an inheritance from your marriage.
• You cannot set up a coke factory.
• You can purchase a city but you will lose your protection. The restrictions still apply
• Players cannot transfer a business to you.
• You can purchase or bankrupt a business but you will lose your protection. The restrictions still apply
• If you have more than 1.5 billion in your possession (for example through gambling), you will lose your protection. The restriction still apply
• Under no circumstances is it possible to bypass the restrictions that you accept in exchange for protection.

Special Exception

At the start of a new version, all players and families get a little bit of time to grow. During this period everybody is protected without any other limitations. Therefore the restrictions described above therefore do NOT apply at the very beginning.
