Many newer players might not be aware of the distance rules and just be happy to have found a place where they can finally settle (without crystal boots distances feel diffrent).

It is difficult to see when one is far enough from a city. And new players may build first and then protect. That is a legitimate way of doing things on other servers after all. The distance rule isn't even stated in the rules.

I'm wondering if we might add additional areas around the cities - at least the larger ones - with a name like "Haven city influence zone". The area would be open so that anvils can be placed, plants collected, animals placed etc - but players could also see that this isn't unclaimed land.

I also disagree with just offering plots in a city or "go somewhere far from everyone else". We need a way where players can build up a base in safety. Even if it turns out to be ugly. Could even be somewhere far up in the sky or a cave underground - provided there is a way to get to that place without having to vaste /home.
