On HOTSPOT! there are various tags on some boards to notify players of the risk. The higher the risk, the high the reward, but the possibility of death is very high and should not be ignored. Below are some of the labels you can expect to see on board descriptions.[break][break]

• [Safe Zone] - An area where you cannot die, or take damage. You can usually teleport to The HUB through your System Menu no matter where you are in a safe zone. [break]
• [Low Risk] - There is a very small chance of a Staff invasion. These prove little threat and are not death enabled (unless you wish it).[break]
• [Medium Risk] - Usually a mixture between Low and High Risk. Some chance of staff invasion. Death is a possibility but only when agreed upon it. There is a slight penalty to fleeing a losing battle.[break]
• [High Risk] - Staff invasion eventually guaranteed. Thread cannot end until staff invade and issue is resolved. Automatically death enabled regardless of player permission. Fleeing a losing battle has a large penalty. Posting in High Risk grants double the automatic point gain per post.[break]
• [DEZ] - ‘Death Enabled Zone’, although this won’t be tagged all the time on boards, you can assume that High Risk will always be DEZ. Boards that are death enabled in different ways will be tagged as such.[break]
• [PVP Enabled] - Players in these areas are subject to automatic PvP without seeking permission from another (buy using an invade ticket from the shop. Death is usually enabled. If players flee/ refuse to post then it will be counted as a loss and there will be a significant penalty but no death.[break][break][break]
Important! Only one [High Risk] Thread can be run at a time. You must wait for it to be handed in before starting a new one.[break][break]
You must state somewhere in your first post what level your character is when you started, and items they possess etc. You can't level up more than 3 times in a [high risk] or [dungeon] thread.[break][break]
Taking long periods of time between replying to invasions in high risks will lower your reward (if any). Since levelling up mid thread is allowed, staff ask that you be reasonable and realistic with how you approach this. If you've levelled up in a different thread set in the future, you won't be levelling up to that same level in a [high risk] set in the past etc.
