1. If someone hostiles you, don't try to fight them like hellmonkeys does. It's not worth it.
2. Get a chicken module(if you want.)
3 Use anti-tppk module.
4. Always be the first or the last person to go in the red portal, that way if you go in first you know there's no hydras, and if you go in last and nobody has died you know it is safe.
5. NEVER go in another person's TP unless you know them.
6. Don't try to kill lvl 20 pallies(or any pallies for that matter) because they all either use bonesnap or prepatch bonesnap(no lvl req.)
7. Talk to the other people that play and find out if any new drop hacks have been released lately(or just ask us.)
8. Get to know people on hardcore that you can play with. It's a lot safer to play with someone you know than a stranger.
9. Try to go to private games as much as possible.
10. DON'T PLAY HARDCORE.
