New players, give them a supergrid?

[JoeNightmare]

After thinking for a while about how new players are constantly hunted down and griefed, and while i doubt the DEVs will actually do this, it's just an idea.
Give new players a supergrid. In the supergrid, no black skills may be used. The catch is that in this special grid, nothing goes above Q10 and there are no animals besides rabbits.
While I'm sure there will be lots of people who would rather sit in a small claim in the newb grid, grinding whatever they could, but at least the new players have a chance.
Also, if people are content with sitting there griding cone cows and such, there is nothing stopping them from doing just that in the real world either so there would be little harm done i suppose.
I suppose the problem is that there are a lot of griefers that grief without any black skills, ie. sharks, and claimers.

Agree, disagree, want to tack something on?

*Edit*
You place an unbreakable palisade around the whole thing and you have several spots where you can get out via one way crossroads.

heres an example that would be a problem

I am not too noobish.

So i start a new character in the newb supergrid. I go find a spot close the the edge of this super grid where nothing can kill me. and i would set up camp there. Since everything in the supergrid is crap i will just hop over the "dividing" line and import what ever i need. i could even set up a farm and wall it in with some crossroads out side the supergrid to "safely farm (like anything is ever safe). If someone found me and chased me i would just go back to my home in the PZ (protection Zone for anyone that has never played Tibia)

Are noobs really preyed on THAT much? Neither me nor my friends has been griefed by anyone in world 4 or 5. I've been almost killed for trespassing and we've had things stolen, but that's not bad..

If you're getting murdered a lot, move to a different area. Then come back when you're strong and KILL EVERYONE.

Instead of QQing or thinking of ways to protect noobs, how about stop being one?I started to play HnH in jan 2011 and never had any problems.you learn through mistakes, if not you die.or if you have bad luck, you die.

thats the beauty of that game

2 things:
1: what's the hell is QQing?
2: could you, i dunno, give constructive criticism? Just a thought.

Yeah, you'd have to make a way to kill a persons hearth fire once they go out of the newb grid.
