Idk, I'm beginning to agree with Dani and V, world seems too small with almost 600 players, world 7 had like 300 dropping to like 200, there are people everywhere, lots of griefing and stealing and some of the new resources are way overpowered, which is great if you found any but not so much for everyone else who just find them stripped clean.
Balance has been lost and forced interaction of this nature is not a good thing ... I'm hanging in there atm but life is hard in the hearthlands unless you are part of a bigger group.
It's always a bad sign when seasoned players leave the game, if we can't hack it knowing the game as we do, then the newbies have no chance.
