Here's a more detailed reply than the one linked below. :)

My apologies for the inconvenience that your interface layout was reset.

Various mainland restrictions are applied to new players to more gently onboard them to the complexities of combat, the interface, and embedded sub-systems. These restrictions are eased as they progress through Turael's paths in Burthorpe.

On Monday, we removed a 100 total level check condition from the criteria that determined whether an account is classified as a new player, due to reports from players who unintentionally completed the paths by levelling up and weren't able to continue with them.

Unfortunately that means some players who were relying on that check to not have to complete the new player paths are now in a tutorial state.

If you're still experiencing this issue, to save you having to complete the new player paths in Burthorpe, you can toggle this option. It'll treat Turael's paths as complete, disable contextual guidance, remove onboarding constraints, and clear your path if necessary:

Open your Settings parent menu

• Desktop: press Esc or the cog on your ribbon, and then the Settings button

• Mobile: press the Home button in the top left, and then the Settings button

Then on the Settings parent menu:

• Gameplay tab

• Interfaces -> Information Windows -> untick "Guidance system hints"

We're also working on narrowing/removing specific new player restrictions, to minimise their impact. We have a hotfix in the works. It looks like it's affected only a narrow slice of players, but that should minimise occurrences further.

Although, for the case of the helpbutton interface tutorial running when you first open the bank/forge/furnace/shop, completing the interface tutorial flags a variable on your account.

So this will only happen once for that interface if you go all the way to the end of the interface tutorial (ie press OK, or do whatever's required of you at that step).

But if you close the interface before doing so, the interface tutorial will restart the next time you open the interface. Have re-tested them to confirm.

So in this case, while the toggle above will fix it, I'd recommend just powering through and completing the interface tutorial.

Those calls will hopefully also be removed in the next game update (that fix is in the current release candidate build, but I shouldn't promise anything).
