Maybe the devs should just wrap the map top-to-bottom. Then the players in the far north get the same advantage as the far south players. As an added bonus, the players near the current equator can start complaining about exodus times, as they have been presently deprived of the opportunity to do so.
Exodus is slow, but I see no virtue to colonizing BL rapidly. If it takes a long time to settle the new map, there is mostly upside, in my opinion. |

Forgive me, I haven't had time to read through everyone's comments. My own thoughts are that 1x free tenaril for existing players would be the most fair option BUT that you shouldn't take the plots with you as you do for your first tenaril. It would allow players to feed the cities they exodus across (bear in mind that newly exodused cities can be negative in resources) but not allow them to terraform.
You can only have 1 city in transit at a time, so the move across to BL is going to be VERY slow for players trying to shift 10 cities over.
To those who keep saying veterans have too many advantages over new players, I disagree. The oldest vets have had to grow their cities under much harder circumstances - a lot of players are still on 5 food squares from before 7 food was available. They settled before water sov/crafting and now lake/loch sov has arrived making certain spots even more lucrative.. but the vets have already got all their cities established, they don't get to take advantage of these new opportunities unless they take huge penalties to what they have spent years creating. Who wants to demolish all military/t2 buildings and knock every city down to ~2k pop from ~25k pop?
In addition, these players are the ones who have supported Illyriad for many years, ensuring it is still here for new players to enjoy. The 10 city cap means that those players who have been playing the longest are on equal terms as players who have played for ~1 year but they suffer because they have not had the benefit of all the new updates, meaning less military and lower population caps.. and people want to moan about having ONE free tenaril to BL? Pfft. Imo, the free tenarils should go to the players who started before I did and haven't had the chance to take advantage of all the wonderful things I have.
Also, giving people a free tenaril will open up Elgea for newbies too. In theory, newbies would then have the choice of which continent to settle rather than feel forced to move to BL for better opportunities. It would give us a 'whole' server rather than a bunch of tiny cities tacked onto a realm of much larger ones.
Good luck to all who choose to move across :)

Could not have said it better myself Auraya. Also, for those thinking, "I'll lose my existing tenaril when it is replaced," the devs would only need to make the tenaril stackable. So that you new players would have 2 tenaril (assuming you haven't use yours already).
