Newbie Protection

[Mircea]

A quick glance at Word on the Street suggests that the current newbie protection of level 5 is somewhat flawed. With the tutorial and the changes to levelling of late it's incredibly easy to hit level 5 in a few days, which isn't nearly enough time to learn how to play the game and keep safe. If you want new players coming in and, more importantly, staying in the game, they need to not spend a week in the shadow realm within a week of joining.

I think a time span for protection rather than a level limit would be more beneficial, but I'm not sure how long would be appropriate.
