I dont get the point of a safe zone. Last world it was a new project, it seemed worthwhile trying, something to get the community together, etc etc. But it ultimately failed.
If people want to protect new playets and hermuts, thats great, but a designated safe zone just makes them targets. Why not have some kind of thrrad where new players can post in if they have issues and then anyone who can help can then go help them. Theyd be protected newbs or hermits who require fighters, new towns can register their town by contacting whoever is in charge etc etc.
Though having a bad rep within the forums as a town which attacks ppl will probably not win many ppl over.
