And second, I think that freezing them instead of deleting them is probably a really good idea. We would have to do a tiny bit of work, like making characters on frozen islands not count against the limits and stuff, but that is fairly easy to do.
This is probably the easiest and the friendliest solution. I don't envy having to choose which continent, but it's nice knowing it isnt gone forever, it's just can't be reached for some period time.
And for roleplay purposes we can always just say it's surrounded by an awful, impenetrable fog or something really simple like that.
