A big part of what people love about XI is exploration, not adding even just one new zone is a huge mistake and a major flaw with VR.

When I came back for Rhapsodies I loved Reisenjima, I loved exploring it and I loved how detailed it is. That along with the storyline re-ignited my love of the game, especially since it was a far east area.

Just adding a new storyline is not enough, a new zone needed to come with it too.

I know there will be a whole new endgame dungeon, frankly it's just not enough because many many players don't really do that much endgame content and a zone people can grind / explore it keeps everyone happy.

I think this is the biggest mistake with VR, no new zone.

I can accept no new expansions (even though I think this is a mistake because many players would come back for it and it would pay for itself), but not even one new zone for a storyline is a real bad decision.
