Fair thoughts and the solution to this more or less was multiple servers. The idea is to be able to travel between servers to be able to explore multiple worlds but to close off new servers to only new accounts and players for a set period of time so that they may grow and develop their own culture. After that, when they are capable of defending themselves, their world will open and players from older servers may explore their world. This enables to you trade, build, grow, and live wherever you'd like without stripping new players of the experience of a new map. That some new servers may have unique features, themes, resources, or critters can be considered incentive to not just stay cloistered in one server. =)

The idea was this: new players are granted some time on new servers which makes them feel safe and make them spend some money in the shop. After they have been granted some time to growth they get farmed by the veteran players from server 1 which had a head start and are uncatchable ahead all other players. Since they will make sure that no serious challengeners come up all new players are just some mass which generates the income the veteran players need.

You know characters on the new servers (roanoke at least) are almost the same on plymouth right?

The only thing plymouth has a advantage on with the other servers is metal and crop purity grind and that is easily able to be caught up in a month or 2 on the new servers. With traveling opening up they will instantly be caught up with trading. You also seem to ignore the rangers.

Plz stop being closed minded about end game it's really getting old.

This. Starting late even back in h&h (where there was no hard cap on purity!) was not that much of a disadvantage, you could hold your own. In fact its way better here than haven for many reasons, and the fact that it seems like people are getting several months on the new servers by themselves means that its seems that things are going to be really fair actually.

Also why do people feel "safe" on the new servers at this point? surely all the "bad guys" there have murder..

No idea. I think people are to stupid to think there are not factions or individuals on the new server grinding these out to raid and protect their area.

Grind is everything in Salem. If you don`t understand this basic concept you shouldn't say anything.
And stop stupid blabla about rangers. Rangers don`t give you back your (virtual) life after you have been killed. They just take your belonings from the thief for themselves. Rangers are just some romantic idea from some guys, which had seen to much old movies in tv.

Yes, thats how people on the new servers are already in or close to 100

Do you even play this game? The one thing you point out is rangers or the lack there of. Of course you don't get a character back but you will stop the person from committing more crimes for a bit. If you would ask a ranger to return certain items they more then likely would if you helped with the transfer.
