I just encountered a player in a battle making some really offensive remarks, including threats saying he would somehow trace my IP and have me killed. I reported him and took a screenshot, but now I’m worried. Is it really possible for someone to track my IP and pose a threat like that?

A lot of these threats come from people just trying to scare you. The chances of anyone actually tracing your IP and acting on it are super low. Still, it’s worth reporting him to get him banned for the harassment! Just stay safe out there!
Nah, it’s highly unlikely! The game runs on the developer’s servers, so the other players don’t have access to your IP address. The guy sounds like a total troll or just delusional. Just ignore him and keep playing!
You should check your IP with a whois lookup. Generally, it only shows your ISP and city. It’s nearly impossible for someone to go through the hassle of finding your exact IP. You’re probably fine, really!
But how can I be sure? It just feels really unsettling.
