In a gameworld it's rather difficult to avoid. Although, it can be
quite nice to be in a newbie team with a "master" mentor.

Well, I am not going to make a list.

Then you don't need a world.

Huh? Restructuring the world and having a surge of newbies will

Well, if they don't spend time there...

Matt, not to belittle your achievements, but Achaea doesn't have
lots of players... Some people do. And I assume a small tight and
stable community and unique world helps in that respect.
