Do you see what I see!?

You should check out the new Site and the "City-Artwork" under "City-Section"... you will realize, Uldah is totally destroyed.

I don't these are screens from 2.0, I think they are from the current game. I also don't think the art depict only Ul'dah - for example one of them look like an Aetheryte Camp.

I think S-E is doing that on purpose - Ul'dah is shown being destroyed in the trailer, add to that lack of screenshots and it adds, forgive the pun, fuel to the fire of speculations ;)

I have a burning feeling the puns are going to be flying, lol.
On a side note I did hear a while ago that the ciity states weren't going to be changed much. Forgot exactly where I heard this though

With the large changes we saw to Thanalan right outside of Ul’dah we wanted to know how the cities would be impacted by the events of 2.0. Changing the layout of the cities would require a lot more development cost, however they are looking to tweak the existing maps to make them more convenient and adding things like new paths to make it easier to get around or having it so you can select a location when you exit an area. Other than that the city maps won’t change that much.

what do they mean "select an area when you leave an area" ? Wasn't that the thing that sucked about the market wards/Grand Company areas/Main storyline areas?

Do we really need more menus asking us where we need to go? Last time i checked we had legs.

If you played FFXI it's probably like when you exit your mog house it will list a selection of areas to travel to. Menus are perfectly fine. Your time isn't important enough you can't spend a second or two in a menu, and if it is you wouldn't be playing an MMORPG >_>

*clutches chest* ARgh! My Immersion! No SE, make us walk... make us stare at the same crap every day! Just like in real life!

Woah, sorrry. I didn't realise this was defend crappy world design day.

They decided to blow the crap out of uldah to get back at the playerbase for all the bs they had to deal with because we all congregated there like a swarm of cockroaches when the server infrastructure couldnt handle it.

Destruction or not Square already confirmed the cities will not be rebuilt and will look the same as they do now in 2.0.
