It seems someone has purchased land along the boarder of Roanoke blocking players from entering and leaving the town.. Had I not purchased a homestead previously I would pretty much be stuck there.. Can someone please do something about this.

The devs won't be doing anything about this. Need to get in touch with paradox more then likely to get a response.
Check HoB to see who owns them and how to get past or use the guide.

I've seen this too. Yesterday I saw at least 6 knocked out people on this border. A screenshot will be added later, when I'm on the other computer.
I find it really annoying even though it doesn't affect me or break the rules. Also, the people who died probably haven't lost much seeing how they are probably very new to the game. But it could do long term damage if people who die choose not to start a new character and try again. There will be little to no influx of new people.

it must be one super costly land claim rofl it goes long beyond that of the town claim. from river to ocean/river...
but honestly unless you get screwed by the guide when you start there is no real reason to even need to cross that claim. even then.. restarting a new toon isnt going to be that costly in time/effort as you would have only gained 3 of the starting skills at most anyway :/
these wall claims of "boston" really are pointless

Costly and annoying are two very different things.

Uh, I just got a friend to join up with me recently and he got to the claim. Adventure>Criminal Acts On. No problem. Yes, they don't know this, but it isn't Impossible to get past it.
It would be nice if it mentioned early on how you can easily get past a claim that's blocking your way by doing that. Whoever did it is an ass though. The only solution now would be for people to make an alt or two and stand guard on the border teaching the newbs how to get through.

Too bad we can't place signs on Roanoke land (with info for newcomers). That would've helped some.

I tried that. Didn't work. Hmm

Ah, nevermind. I had to click to move twice.

hmm, you say your friend turned on criminal acts then came to your claim?
now you have a nice little becon of a friend with tracking scents pointing straight to your claim.
if the devs don't do anything about this, they are saying to all new players "we don't give a frack about our game, so no need coming back."

There is no way to find a claim with 1 track scent. If a person is leaving a buch then yeah they will be tracked down. Devs are not going to do anything with this.
