As the title suggests, there's been an influx of new players joining the server and there's even more coming, potentially.
The current start zone can prove a little too demanding and convoluted for those who are still downloading the client and getting used to all the new features. There's many, many objects processing in the background and the zone design makes everything feel very crowded when there's a lot of people online at the same time in start.
As such, I suggest something along the lines of flatlands, simple design, not too many objects necessary to process, and enough space for everyone to move around.
EDIT: i've been bullied into making a POLL
