Your networth, along with your weapon and armor, is what governs who you can kill not your level, for example, a level 1 player with a 100 networth can kill a level 9 player with a 30 networth. So you want to level very slowly. My advice would be to get your networth 100 times higher or more than your level before you go to the next level. When you start out, you are at level 1 you will have a networth of 15. Build you networth to 100 or higher before moving to level 2. This will ensure you a fighting chance when you start getting into the bigger players range. To keep from leveling fast I would suggest you join a clan before you start battling. Only players that are in clans can donate their experience and that is how you keep from leveling. You can battle 8 levels above and 8 levels below your current level. So if you are level 10 you can battle levels 2-18. This is the reason why you need to get you networth up before moving on. There are several players in this range that are over 500 days old with networths over 1000. If you level fast and get into their range THEY WILL KILL YOU.
