An area designed for starting characters. The challenges are scaled to the abilities of low level characters. This does not mean the areas are dumbed-down as they can have quests [help level quests], puzzles, NPCs to talk to, or things to figure out. Newbie areas are not areas of butterflies and rats to kill, as a theme or story can be appropriately scaled for any level of player ability. Also note that the newbie guide [help guide] can take you to a random newbie area on the same world [ask guide about newbie area]. |
