move newbie zone away from the biggest hotspots in the game

[NukNuk]

please move the newbie/starter zones away from the biggest hotspots in the game (the arkship markets) and move them somewhere where they dont litter the place with speeders and also have a less horrible first impression of the game due to lag

Newbie area, should be moved into Ark ship, and then when your done with orientation, you can hop onto a simple shuttle for a slow ride to a district, that's another one to add to flesh it out.

Wherever they move the newbie area, is going to make it a new hot spot. Its a hot spot because of the new players. Great location to go to recruit, market, show off, intimidate.

 

What you should be asking (if you like segregation for the lulz), is to simply say "have a sub server that is purely for newbies... and when they complete the main tutorial or 2 weeks pass, they are ejected to the real full server at a random location on Alioth".

Not really they could make the "newbie zone" a self contained tutorial that could even be client side. when you take the shuttle down the loading screen a cinamatic and it plops you down in one of the districts that has the lowest population

Genthro, like the idea there. Basically...

-Here's what's in the game, then boot them into nowhere and say have fun lol.

it shouldnt be completely separated, but letting newbies out where people go on and about their daily business is not a good choice, anywhere else but the markets is a good spot really. newbies should also be able to directly everywhere they want since its a sandbox, but it wont hurt to have a trainingcamp somewhere remote. it might be less overwhelming and create less lag. speeders can be wiped more often etc. just makes sense to separate markets and starting zone

These are all great ideas. I hope they listen to it.

Regardless of where the noobzone is....at some point the server tech has to work anyway for hundreds of constructs otherwise this "civilazation" will be very, very small...
