The above looks like an early concept for:

They said that these entries to new plateaus would be VERY obvious means to warn of high level danger ahead. Im loving it.

Nice catch, very obvious now. Definitely like the change with the skeleton. Much more appealing and "exaggerated" in the second picture. Stands out much better. I don't think I even noticed it in the first one. But it was probably planned to end up like the second picture all along and that first one was just a placeholder....hence the words and arrow pointing to it.

Added a couple more Artworks :D
Hmmm you might be right on that Duuude but it would be better if they are 2 separated places 1 seems Lanoscea style and the other more Mhor Dona like

I really hope that the train tracks actually work

Darn it! These threads on A Realm Reborn are making me more excited.

(Seriously, that artwork is beautiful.)

Well we have these partially translated maps thanks to Reinhart:

Yeah those are nice and as Yoshi-P said game at launch and until next big expansion there will be a total of 40 zones and all the art i posted are only bits of the entire map yet are already about 30 places so each zone will be saturated with so much to look at each part of it unique in design which makes me even more excited about exploring :D

Exploration consists of finding the teleport crystal so you never half to take in the nature afterwards. and god forbid we actually walk to the dungeon we're going to crawl for the next 8 years.

What is this i don't even... I'm sure the people that love to explore will make all the designers justice by visiting and admiring every place there is :D
