Are new worlds usually this violent?

I wonder how they can get Murder so fast with such a cappy system...

People are way past that since the new system allows you to make alot of LP every day when you have advanced only a little bit from your starting stats without even having to play much. There should be plenty of characters with 1.5-2 million LP, because with a little bit of planning or nice village mates to help you, you will earn LP 24/7 even when you do not play at all .

And there are people who collect skeletons ... so a heap of fifteen skeletons, or a camp around which fifteen skeletons are strewn does not imply anything except a morbid taste in decorating, let alone a massacre.

Someone stole my first character's skeleton, after I'd placed it in a decorative graveyard. Since then I've collected about a dozen skeletons, which I've placed around my gate and apple trees.

That might be a little high. World 5 has only been up 10 days, that's 8000 LP/hour for the last 240 hours. Easily possible*, but startup time with low int, low per*exp, and initial confusion regarding the curiosity system makes it more likely that only a few people are at that point. Personally, I didn't suicide myself to full LA either, although I assume a lot did, along with other early exploits and excessive ant values that have since been fixed.

Or maybe I'm just hoping since I'm under half a million and don't want to meet someone on 2 million

On topic, I've found that most people I meet are pretty neutral/friendly, but there have been a few who would rather fight than talk. Still seems more violent to me but that's probably because last time I played I lived a million miles from nowhere and there were typically about 300-400 online at peak. I never saw anyone.

*Well, not all that easily, since someone would have to be logging in your character every 20-40 minutes to refresh your curios, either a script or a series of villagemates you would trust with your account info and who play from every timezone in the world, neither of which I think many people have available. 8000/hr would be pretty difficult early on without constantly studying things like ant soldiers and cone cows. Even queens, 1.3 hours, empresses, every 3 hours. None of the longer study time stuff could get you to 8000.

I'm pretty lucky, one other hermit below me who is pretty nice and gave me some seeds and a herbalist table.
So he got a carrot from me when i got them.
2 big cities to the right of me, of which 1 for sure is peacefull and actively killing murderers if you bring a scent.
Other one also seems friendly, they are friends with the other big city.

So far i like my spot:)
Finally a descent spot and good neighbours, my best city so far
