Ultimately land (beacon claims) can’t be infinite for all players. So there needs to be a finite limit. We need to make sure players have a way of increasing their limit via progression. But even then, they’ll hit a point where they should jump across to owning their own world. This release is a first step towards balancing the starting # of plots, the progression of plots, and the maximum # of plots per player.
Additional:
I should also restate that the # of claims in this release is simply for testing the technology.
