	Players can kill other players on newb isle, but the rules are a little different from the mainlands: Players cannot kill members of their own faction, and inventory items are not left behind after dying. Additionally, players below level 20 receive special [[buff]]s that put them on a level playing field with players level 20 and up.		Players can not kill other players on newb isle

	~~Participating in PvP nets more experience than killing [[mob]]s alone. Players are encouraged to engage in it whenever possible both to learn the ropes and contribute to their faction's dominance.~~
