I disagree here. With the good spots running low it will create pressure and eventually begin to change the game on its own. If you add more land it will continue to be farmville.

I find it amusing that many of the same people who keep asking for a new server are the same as those that complain about lack of conflict. By far the best way to ensure future conflict is by NOT creating more land and thereby increasing pressure for space.

Ah but is a new server more land?
It would be a legion of newbie accounts vying for domination over that server, it would not be so peaceful as you would think, I can think that many people who are in charge of tiny alliances here would gladly take a risk to invest time into a new server to see if they could become top dog.
I think that you have 1/3 of the people wanting a new server for more land, 1/3 to get the feeling of everyone kind of on the same starting line (prestige users will always have a slight head ahead) and the other 1/3 would want the new server to have to be a blank canvas for a new political masterpiece to arise.

There is posibility that making another continent or continents would actualy cause wars.It would be fresh, free new land and everyone will make run for it, especialy smaller growing alliances.

A new servers would do the following things:
- Encourage many players to buy prestige
- Begin a gold rush on the new server for land
- Have thousands of wars involving 5-100 troops.
- Allow the already well organized alliances to dominate the new continent with their organization and team work
- Make all the time and effort put into Elgea mean so much less, since new servers are being spun up.
- Segment the playerbase
The most important part of Illyriad is that it is 1 map, 1 world, 1 consistent land. We are all in it together. There are plenty of squares that remain unoccupied, and if you really want that +7 food square with the +20 food production right next to it, then ready your armies and go take it. If your upset that larger older alliances have already claimed all the great spots, form a coalition and take them out.
I do hope that a new land mass will be discovered and the map will be expanded when new features are released. This would encourage competition and extra land while keeping everyone in the same server.

I don't think so, the old alliances will always have a grip thus why a new server would create a brand new world with as of yet no powerful grouping of alliances dominating.
I can say that I will never buy prestige for illyriad on this server for that reason alone^

How do you know there would be a legion of new accounts?

With the need to exodus many of their cities, most of the oldest players in Illy are now no more advanced than people who started 12-18 months ago.
Look at the top rankings in many areas and you'll find that this is very true and proof that you can be top dog if you work at it for a year or two even if you start now. Illy has built in size limits that currently ensure this. So the whole "I'm behind and will never catch up"concept is patently false.

Can you provide a comment other then running around quoting things and saying +(number here), I'd like to personally see as to why you agree with someone instead of just saying "Agree". Helps the topic if you get what i mean.
