What is said before, make the area that a solo player can claim much smaller than for tribes.

I really cannot believe that they will go through with this idea, maybe they think this is a good way to force people to join a tribe.
I agree with that, smaller tribe zones would be nice but if you make a single person tribe it reserves a 50 tribe slot for the location, but how can you tell that tribe is going to be a solo tribe or a tribe thats just starting out?

Homesteads are the answer but sadly they aren't in atm.

Personally I would delay Prelude until they finish Homesteads.

And I would scrap the second server Idea too.
(It is a lot easier to add another server after a week or two than find out the pop is too low and have to merge servers down the road,)

So instead, I am being told I have to run and hide in the mountains and come back after the world is well underway. I have to then search and find a small place to call home, and begin my life after everyone else has already been into it for a few days, even though I paid my dues, and have done as much as the next guy, and for that I get a big fat, "you can't do what you want in my sandbox till I say you can!"
Hypothetically, lets say you take a nice location along side the beach. You manage to log in first and grab it. However a 20 person tribe that was going to take the spot because they need a spot with a larger size to be able to sustain their numbers. Is it fair that one person can cockblock a tribe thats 20x bigger than his own just because he logged in first?

What will happen at prelude if they allow single person tribes, is that the bigger tribes will remember you took the spot from them. And then they will gank, grief and camp you.

It is a lot safer to separate the big tribes from the solo players. And it is a lot smarter to cater the bigger groups at first than the solo players.

By making it so you single tribes cant take land at the start they cut down on massive tribes griefing and ganking solo players.

Tbh, im going to guess that homesteads will be added a day after or two days after the start.
