I personally wouldn't uproot for a new map, though I'm sure some would. However I think the majority would at least prem up and deed a toon on another fresh start cluster. Even if they were against the idea. Pretty smart business move.
it wouuld also be a way of bringing back some of those players that first ever started during steam launch but quit due to the lag from servers not expecting to host so many people as well as the poor new player experience.
Complete the current expected road map updates, launch fresh start cluster and you might have a much higher retention rate of new players + plenty of funds to keep wurm going, no doubt.
Hello! I'm at D24 I believe it is (that nice big island north east) deed is Coyote Tundra and in game names Peyotecoyote or Coyotepeyote.
I've played a bit in the past and enjoyed it but really keen to be at ground level of a new server, hopefully help out some players that are even newer than I am.
If you sail past say hi!
