That's one of the reasons I asked not to be moved. They gave us the option when they started it, I believe, and I've worked hard to build strong relationships with my neighbors. I get a lot of help from them and that, in itself, improves the level of activity. Usually I have, at most, only on coin farm and often none. I address about 300 players in my "discovered" area so it's a pretty good sample. About 40% are in fellowships (I do 120 visits each day around me) and I notice that another 10% play outside a fellowship. I watch for them in trade and if they are active I visit them too. The point is, a neighborhood has to be developed and mined and if you do that -- including welcoming new players moving in -- AND thanking people for trades, you get a better neighborhood. At least that's how I think it worked for me.
