You are all overestimating how good the compass will be, which is good, it means less people in the wild, which in turn makes he compass less good. Basically, and tell me If I make no sense what so ever, If everyone continued mining normally, there would be a lot more killing, However if you people get scared and say only 4 out of the 10 of you are still mining for hours every day, then suddenly theres a lot less prey for the hunters, leading them to run into each other or spend too much time hunting you down, this works to balance itself, because if the miners all come back then they will be killed more, with less miners it will be safer for those few miners who are still mining, at peak times, it should still be like that as say the amount of miners goes from 4 to 10 in peak times, well the hunters might go from 6 to 16 or something, this whole thing focuses around mob mentality, the masses have to be afraid of mining, not a crippling fear that they never go to the wild, but a fear that you wouldn't tell a noob to go there, and thats the whole point, don't tell noobs to go there, tell them to go to minigames, the minigames will be populated with the six scared miners, so the young new player has fun and seeks to immerse themselves into meep more.

Here's the thing, though. Wild is usually empty anyways! There are rarely more than 10 people on at all. Besides that, when noobs are asking how to make money, most people don't say mining anyways. The most common responses are: jobs and minigames.
In addition, you did not refute my point of it wont be that exciting anyways. If it's supposed to help player retention, then it isn't going to work. Even if Wild is empty 24/7, it's not going to increase the minigame population because everybody is already in Towny anyways.
My point is, this compass is not going to help us gain players. People don't play minigames as much because they're not profitable enough to them. There are a billion ways you can make money that are more efficient than minigames, so why bother? We need things that anyone can do that are unique. As I said before, Dungeon was incredibly unique, and was one of the main reasons I stayed. If I was looking for a server to fight players on, wouldn't I look for a PvP or Factions server instead?
