You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.87.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 11:04, 19 October 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

((More citations needed|date=April 2018))

'''New Game Plus''', also '''New Game+''' ('''NG+'''), is an [[unlockable (gaming)|unlockable]] [[video game]] [[Game mode|mode]] available in some video game titles that allows the player to restart the game's story with all or some of the [[Item (gaming)|items]] or [[Experience (gaming)|experience]] gained in the first playthrough. New Game Plus modes are typically unlocked after completing the game's story at least once and sometimes contain certain features not normally available in the initial [[playthrough]], such as increased difficulty, altered combat/encounters, and more.

==Origin==
The term was coined in the 1995 [[role-playing video game]] ''[[Chrono Trigger]]'',<ref>((cite web|title=A Japanese RPG Primer: The Essential 20|publisher=[[Gamasutra]]|author=Kurt Kalata|date=March 19, 2008|page=5|url=http://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/3581/a_japanese_rpg_primer_the_.php?page=5|access-date=2011-05-16))</ref> but examples can be found in earlier games, such as ''[[Digital Devil Story: Megami Tensei]]'', ''[[The Legend of Zelda (video game)|The Legend of Zelda]]'', ''[[Ghosts 'n Goblins]]'', and ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]''. This play mode is most often found in role-playing video games, where starting a New Game Plus will usually have the [[player character]]s start the new game with the statistics and/or equipment with which they ended the last game. Key items that are related to the story are normally removed so they cannot ruin the game's progression, and are given back to the player at the time they are needed; likewise, characters that the player acquires throughout the story will also not appear until their scheduled place and time, but will get the enhanced stats from the previous playthrough.

==Examples==
<!--This is not meant to be an exhaustive list of all games that have a New Game Plus. Just because a game is your favorite doesn't mean its use of a New Game Plus is notable.-->
Games with multiple endings, such as ''Chrono Trigger'', may feature a New Game Plus mode which allows the player to explore alternate endings.<ref>((cite book|last1=Lebowitz|first1=Josiah|last2=Klug|first2=Chris|date= 2012-09-10|title=Interactive Storytelling for Video Games|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=7cLcB_LdzegC&q=new+game%2B|publisher=Taylor & Francis|chapter=Case Stude: Chrono Trigger|isbn=978-1136127335|access-date=2014-12-15))</ref> Many games increase the difficulty in a New Game Plus mode, such as those in the ''[[Mega Man Battle Network (series)|Mega Man Battle Network]]'' series and ''[[Borderlands (series)|Borderlands]]'' series. Others use the feature to advance the plot. In ''[[Astro Boy: Omega Factor]]'', the player uses the game's Stage Select mechanism, explained in-story as a form of time travel, to avert disaster, while in ''[[Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem]]'', the player defeats three different final bosses, one in each playthrough, to access the true ending.

Some New Game Plus variations alter established gameplay. This includes unlocking new characters, such as in ''[[Castlevania: Symphony of the Night]]''; new areas, such as in ''[[Parasite Eve (video game)|Parasite Eve]]''; new items, such as in the ''[[Metal Gear (series)|Metal Gear]]'' series; new challenges, such as in the ''[[.hack (video games)|.hack]]'' series, or new weapon and armor upgrades, like in ''[[God of War II]]''<nowiki/>'s Bonus Mode and ''[[God of War (2018)]]''<nowiki/>'s New Game+ mode.

Games that connect to online marketplaces may require the player to complete a New Game Plus game to obtain certain [[Achievement (video gaming)|achievements]], such as the "Calamity Kid" achievement in the game ''[[Bastion (video game)|Bastion]]''.<ref>((cite web |url=http://www.PlaystationTrophies.com/game/bastion/Trophies/ |title=Bastion Trophies |publisher=PlayStation 3 Trophies |access-date=2012-01-30))((dead link|date=February 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes))</ref> Others may require or be required by additional purchases in the form of [[downloadable content]], such as in ''[[Yakuza: Like a Dragon]]''.<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.playstationlifestyle.net/2020/03/25/sega-charge-yakuza-new-game-plus-mode/|title = Sega to Charge for Yakuza Like a Dragon New Game Plus Mode|date = 25 March 2020))</ref>

''[[Final Fantasy XIV]]'' is a [[Massively multiplayer online role-playing game|MMORPG]] with an extensive story line called the "main scenario quest" or colloquially the "MSQ". A New Game Plus option was introduced during the ''[[Final Fantasy XIV: Shadowbringers|Shadowbringers]]'' expansion patch cycle, which allows players to replay the main scenario and selected other scenarios, either in their entirety or specific expansion's stories.<ref>((cite web |title=Patch 5.1 Notes |url=https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/topics/detail/3a23a8ba13b2c4152681ec4fa5716915b851002f |website=FINAL FANTASY XIV, The Lodestone |publisher=[[Square Enix]] |access-date=16 June 2021 |language=en-us))</ref>
