The update is complete on the withdrawals for new players.
EDIT: I am incorrect regarding the protections for new players. Currently, there are none. The only protections available from pillaging are:
- Purchase a hovel at the earliest opportunity (10K DBLN)
- Purchase a castle
On another note, I think protections for new players are important. Above a certain level, and everything should be fair game. However, that's just my opinion.
