When you enter UOSE for the very first time, you will be considered a “young” player, this designation will appear over your head in brackets after your name, identifying you to other players. Young status gives the following protections and restrictions, while it lasts:
- Monsters that would normally react in a hostile manner will not attack young players, except in self defense, unless they are quest monsters . (you will receive a message in your journal if a monster wants to attack you so you can learn which monsters are hostile)
- Young players will be teleported to a healer upon dying and will retain any belongings.
- Young players can insta-log anywhere.
- Young players may not loot monsters they did not kill for two minutes after the death of the monster.
- Other players may not loot monsters killed by young players.
- Young players may not travel to the Felucca facet; this is the facet on which you can be attacked by other players
- Young players may not steal from other players or NPCs.
