Similar to the 'world days' that was recently added, the ability to apply rules (and effects in fxcontrol) based on the amount of time a player has been in the world would be amazing.

The hope is to use this as a 'starting protection' that wears off gradually to make the game get harder for players in a multiplayer environment

I knew someone was going to ask for this :-)

It's a good suggestion and I'll certainly do it
