Editing New Players

{{blockquote|Corepunk is an MMORPG with an open, seamless world that allows for endless possibilities.|FAQ|https://corepunk.com/en/faq}}

The main mechanic that sets Corepunk apart from the rest of the scene is the open-world Player versus Player (PvP) combat, with the [[Fog of War|fog of war]] ensuring you will never be completely safe from ambush. This can deter some people, since you can never wander about completely safe from other players. However, safe zones ensure these encounters are few and far between, and the [[New Player Guide to Corepunk#Honor System & Karma System|Karma System]] stops excessive abuse of this mechanic.

Corepunk is a daunting game - taking around 80 to 100 hours for your first [[character]] to reach endgame content. In this section, we will cover how to join Corepunk's world with style.

{{stat|Karma}} is a penalty that is given when an ''Aggressor'' kills or assists in killing a player coloured [[Karma#Yellow|Yellow]] or [[Karma#White|White]]. Gaining too many Karma Points can lead to you becoming a ''Criminal''. ''Criminal''s are exiled from major cities and drop a random equipped artifact or weapon upon death. You can decrease {{stat|Karma}} by completing [[quests]] and other various in-game activities. Be careful - there is no maximum amount of {{stat|Karma}} one can accrue.
