2.2 New Life Rule - Do not return or interact with the area of your death (between two tunnels) that you died until 3 minutes has passed. There is a timer at the top of your screen. If you died in the spawn area, leave it promptly through the nearest tunnel or AFK at spawn, you must also forget everything about your previous life and start a new one, as from it's name "New Life Rule"
Currently the tunnels do not cause you to break nlr.
you were in your right to wait at the end of the tunnel near the entrance of the district you died in.
This will be fixed in the near future once the new district maps are made official in a notice .
Ofcourse stay tuned for that. !
