Welcome to Tynon!
Attacking
Yes you CAN attack other players in this game. This is a PvP game.
As of 6/20/2013 an update was implemented wherein you can no longer check a person before attacking them. If you can attack them they will be red and a clashing swords icon will appear. USE EXTREME CAUTION since you cannot see the power level of the person you are about to attack.
