Place newbies at edge of playing field
-
To solve the issue of newbie walls suddenly blocking paths in use by other players, what if people were both able and required to place their first spawn in a room along the edge of the playing field, that was NOT yet open to use by other players?
This would both avoid breaking the map for 3 days when a new player spawned in a room needed to get from one area to another, and it would naturally expand the playing field at a rate proportional to new players joining.
Also, new players would probably be less likely to be immediately demolished when their walls came down if they're encouraged to spawn near the edges of the map.
