I think something like this could possibly provide a nice balance
for the players, still under the assumption that there's a person or
algorithm generating interesting new territory fast enough. The
trick to this is to have a fairly broad area of "scrolling
map". Then the players can self-segregate. The hard-core explorers
can be out on the fringes of the new land, dealing with the
unpredictability. Others can hang back in the territories which have
already been explored.
