The same thing that happens with all mmos. New servers. The best thing you could hope for, for Xsyon, would be these problems to arise in the future. Resource depletion and rarity is the catalyst for open pvp and tribal warfare in a sandbox game. If not for resources, what will we be fighting for? I also suggested an option to counter all out depletion of scraps for a tribe. And to point out another topic I think you are very familiar with, Trade. If everyone has everything they are ever going to need as far as resources, why bother trading?
