a question for devs

Seeing how mor dona got expanded, will other areas be expanded too?

Also seeing how we have a lot of buildings (lets say ul dah) can we explore more of them?

Thank you.

Mor Dhona got expanded because it was part of the story and thats where the scions moved to.

Ah I see but it will still be nice to see more areas expanded.

They really need to do something with that train track running around Central Thanalan. Perhaps a certain "Boss" can appear on it ;)

It also helped make more space so that everyone was not standing around the same place. It was so dense/crowded on a legacy server; it is a little better now.

I'd like to see West Shroud come back.

If you look carefully at all the maps, you will see many areas present, but shaded out. Even the area opened up for Crystal Tower existed on the map previously, but was shaded.

If CT is a precedent, many zones could be up to 4 times larger than they are currently. I mean, look at Mor Dona's map fully zoomed out, It takes up such a small space of the overall map that it just begs for expansions.

They can even modify zone change lines because no one really knows exactly how far your character traveled between the two zone lines. Looking at the World Map Black Shroud, theres an immense expanse of road between any given area. We may even see the path from say North Shroud to Central get an area between it that we zone into before walking through this new zone to get to the Central Shroud line, Coupled with each area having the potential to double in size, in a few expansions, we may see a truly massive world.

Well, Little Solace in the East Shroud also got 'expanded' (or rather, had some new additional buildings added and a new BGM for that part of the zone), so it's likely other towns and hamlets may also be expanded/enlarged too. Not to mention the sections of zones from 1.0 that are yet to be restored (such as the West Shroud, and the Coerthas Southern Lowlands, Coerthas Eastern Highlands, Coerthas Western Lowlands). But it's still early days with the game so there's still lots of time to add these into the game.

I kind of like the progression of these areas. I imagine by the time we get the first expansion, the Content Patches will have changed our zones quite a bit, and new players will know only the new expanded zones, while those of there from the start got to watch as these places grew.

You can also see unused gates and blocked paths on the Gridania map, so you know we will see the city expanded and new zones added.
