The internal evidence of the story suggests that all the previous waves of Yggdrasil players were transported from the game shutdown and simply arrived at different times in the New World.

Especially the equipment etc. of the 6FF of the first wave 600 years ago, they appear far more consistent with end/late game than early game.

There have also been author statements to that effect, though they may only apply to the original concept of the WN rather than the derived works. Still, no clear reason that would have been changed.
