As i see all characters have the same quest giver, so when the new world will begin people will connect quest giver with crossroads. The other type of people will try to destroy enemys quest giver, so people start protect quest giver with wall and claim.
Thats why newbies cant get some of quest giver and will just running around.
Maybe it can be random ?
Also when the world begin, people try to find place where they will live but with quest giver that give you quest to return back its start to be hard, you just run around same quest giver.
