[Young] status is very non-sphere so that's not going to be very true to our roots.

I honestly couldn't care if it's sphere or not if it helps ppl stay.

The thing about renting out rooms is if your a new player here (and dunno other ppl on shard) then ur gold amount is limited to hunting at what? newbie dungeon and the brit graveyard? The intention here was to make things easier for them, thus them getting a good response from the shard would lead to more playing. It'd still be hard for new players to a) get gold without skills b) macroing time for their skills would take long then and they can't even have simple stuff like what GM Magery? I'll be honest this isn't even about skill gain right now it's about new players having the opportunity to get the "essential" skills that are almost always used in a faster time period (dying does slow the process)

Think about it if I joined a shard and knew I would be able to macro safely in a guarded city until i reached x amount of total skill I would macro all the necessities first. I know myself as a new player would recommend the shard then to other players cuz they have the time to macro some skills properly without always being killed (seriously ppl gotta stop doing that to noobs), it also creates an attraction to the shard imo
