What are all the new user bonuses?

It is basically self-explanitory

When you sign up for the first month or so you get a huge bonus on Money and Xp (i think)

A large bonus to new players that lasts for 3 months. They get over 100% more rewards that time.

I have seen Noobs with rewards of over 800 during normal times and xp's of over 75 xp each on a 3 minion team during normal times.
It only applies to new accounts. You cannot leave and make a new account to try to get it.. If you do you will be banned from cb2.

isn't there a BA bonus too?

NUB - Give 100% extra bonus to fighting and forging for a proportional amount of time that would allow a new user to catch up to the highest ranking players. Also, I believe it gives them a discount on buying BA. Used in the right hands can cause much trouble but most new players don't even utilize it to it's full potential.

For the example of a noob getting to the top in short time, check out MegamanV's character Death Spawn. It was started by Evolution in March.

Made entirely with the NUB and is now a top 10 character with over 400k MPR. Thats 80% of the top MPR in the game, done in 1/2 the time. With some tweaking he can be in the top 5.

At least when CB2 started, newbs would also randomly get 50 free ba.
