Problem with this system is that on a server, one persons progress can slow down the progress of everyone else.

It's no different from Terraria. If you join a Terraria world which has shifted to Hardmode as a new character then you're going to be screwed. The fact that the game world gets more dangerous as you proceed through the game is intentional. It isn't designed to run like an MMO where everyone can play independently and nothing any player does has a permanent effect on the other players.
