As you can see by the support ticket, the mods were less than helpful with my questions. ie, they pretty much didn't answer them

Hello
I would like to know why the new worlds only spawn in one direction and not in a spiral fashion as it once did. Is it going to remain this way in Gela, only spawning new players in the Northeastern hemisphere or is it going to eventually start spiraling in other oceans as well. This is important information for my alliance as it will decide how we geographically and strategically place our cities and backline forces..
Thanks!

Hello Hades4765,
The world has reached its maximum population and it appears most spaces were filled with invites to specific areas.
Sincerely,

But with all due respect, that does not answer any of my questions.
Why did it not spawn anyone in any other quarter of the map other than Northeast? It is like a quarter slice of a pie rather than the full circle. Is this intentional, as all of the new worlds seem to be this way, or a glitch? Are you saying that since the world is at max pop, there will be no new players joining? Will new players be allowed to join in other directions, such as Southeast, putting them in oceans such as 36, 27, etc? Because right now, regardless of which direction you choose, it takes you Northeast.
Thank you.

During the invite phase, players can invite to specific islands/ areas of the map.

I understand this. But we had people join without links and try to go in a different direction other than Northeast from the core, and they were still sent Northeast from the core.
Why?
Why did the world not send players who asked for random or anything other than Northeast, all still inevitably get sent Northeast?

Sorry didn't mean to resolve this..
I also need to know if it will spawn players randomly to oceans to the West and Southwest, Northwest in the future. Or will those Oceans forever be empty? Can we bank on that?

They should spawn, will look into this, but now that the world is closed to further players it is difficult now to check.
