Safe areas?

Does Archeage have safe locations for players? I love open world pvp, but believe it's very important to have safery for those who don't want to participate. Even i don't want to get involved sometimes. And i don't mean 100%, but higher, increased security.
I know about the continents, but, as long as your allied or neutral (can you be neutral?) with said faction, will there be things like npc guards in the home continents? I understand that you can still get ganked there, and have your house, farm, etc attacked and damaged, but will there be mesures in these areas to preserve some "peace" and allow the players to get back on their feet after a possible gank or robbery?

The only thing I've gotten confirmed is that if you want some sort of housing, you'll have to put it on the third continent where it will not be safe. So if you're on one of the two 'home' continents, you won't have to worry about having your house attacked, because you can't build a house there.
Not sure about the rest of it...housing and farming were the only features I was really interested in.
I can not remember winning or losing a single debate on the internet.
I'm sorry, but i believe i've already read a few quotes from site slike AA Source and interviews that you can build houses, etc in the continents.
At the western and eastern continent, players can build houses
in restricted building areas. In the northern (PvP) continent, they
can build houses wherever they want, as far as I know.
There will probably not be any real 'safe areas'... but at the
western and eastern continents, people who kill faction
mates can go to jail, discouraging gankfests.
East and West continent houses can be placed in limited areas, as stated above.
On the Northern, Origin, continent you need to claim a region. Once claimed a Castle can be built within a (100m iirc) radius of the claim point. Houses can be placed within 250m. Until claimed the land is unusable.
Houses, protected farms, all use the same land. So an area that might hold 100 houses, might instead hold 50 houses and 50 farms.
While the East and West continents are not 100% safe, it would be a long travel with few close rez points should invaders come visiting. Not that that will stop them, just make the solo and small group gankers a bit more difficult.
You can attack anywhere except the spawn points which has a safe zone around it.
