Basiclly same idea, just different way to put it out there.
Scaling Difficulty: Please send me to Hel.I at first thought it sounded silly but it grew on me. but lv5 mining of KaiMolan idea was just eh.
and only the top 10% would make it out of reach for explorers like myself...
And your idea of expanded world to make it still kinda make's it meh, feeling.
The realms would be explored within a month tops and then people would only go to a few areas.
But it does give a nice old runescape hardcore pvp feeling to it, lol.
Ozzy idea

same as Kaimolan gate idea, but still honestly building it would feel better...
Gates~ would make an interesting idea and opens a gaterealm('s) up to a major possibility.
That being to be able to reset or remake the realm every few hours or even make a realm last for a few days.
Being Gen differently to be a world filled with just swamps and roads or a giant ocean with islands.
Easy having a few hours for us to pillage the loot of the world and possibly meet other enemy's.
