Having a main continent that everybody spawns on is boring.
PVPers are just LAZY. They want to quit after 3 weeks and not have to worry about sailing to another continent.
LAZY.
Having multiple starting continents instills a sense of wonder, mystery and whimsy into the early game.
Did you spawn on the same continent as your friends? As your enemies????
EXCITING.
Promote game longevity and do not listen to the naysayers.
We need NO MAIN SPAWNING CONTINENT for W16
