I am getting this too

We did contest a claim actually. Successfully. The issue was that the two people whose Island it was discovered us (group of four) and another group on the island (three) and destroyed us before we could get weapons up. They had full armour and guns against spears and bow and unfortunately were able to destroy our beds outside and then climb into base as we hadn't quite finished roof yet when they attacked. Since then we have found nothing. Going to try game again and just see if a sloop from a lawless region is an option and whether we can get metal for guns then try to invade an island.

haha pretty simple here, the vocal 1% who got an Island will disagree whereas the main player base who were 'slightly' late and are trying to find a small claim anywhere will not. Hopefully Devs can see that allowing people to have a chance to get land is better for everyone and not just the minority. Like some people haven't even looked at the game yet because of christmas and with one server the fun of the game has pretty much been taken away thanks to the claim system and fast progression. Like I am shocked people have cannons and full ships less then 24 hours from launch.... Unless they are planning regular wipes surely this should have taken slightly longer to find at least in XP terms. I think if they can stop people abusing it that claims should have been limited to one per day. One per person and one per company, however large groups could probably abuse that somehow, but I think one claim per day at least gives people a chance to get some land. Whether they make lawless islands claimable, make more servers, make the map even bigger... something needs to be done cause right now the truth is this game is only really going to be fully experienced and enjoyed by those who claimed all the islands immediately and this is not good for gameplay. I hope for more servers and regualr wipes personally as I am enjoying the game as it is greatly.

I think for a game this big in scope and size there need to be slower progression firstly and also flag claiming should be limited to one per day to give a little more of a chance for everyone to claim land. That said I am happy with the game as it is, they can keep it like this if they just do regular wipes and give us another chance to claim land. I here people saying 'this game is for large groups not solo', whilst I agree I think solo and small groups should be able to have a chance to hold land. Sure eventually abig company can invade them or whatever, but right now its just too few people who have land compared to the player base.
