basically suggesting that the protection be drastically reduced? Cuz as it is you can attack up to 5 times your points or down to 1/5 of your points

we do not have to reduce it just keep it going until around 1 to 2 million points at max level.

I say no to that as well, 100k is more than enough. If you stay in protection until 1 million points, you'll never really learn how to survive

but it is not protection from the players 3 levels above you or below you. just protection from the guys with 2 mil in building alone.

the protection system is fine imo. if you can't learn how to deal with other people being able to attack you, then PvP games are not something you should even play.

i agree with you but there is some players who need more time to get used to the style of play needed in the game.

That's why training alliances are formed, to speed up the process. There is also chat. And if a player needs more time, they can just slow their growth down. Hell, i only used 2 planets on my old x account, and i grew at a pace that suited me.

There are also the forums, plus the chat full of veterans, to help.

yes there is. the only problem is that when i went to Register for the forums here on my X account i never got the email to activate my account here. so i used my Speed account & made up a dummy email to get in here.
back on track, as for protection it is nice to have there in Xtreme when i found out it was 10k in Speed i knew what i had to do to protect myself from what i learned in Xtreme to make it in speed.
