The zones we have now are to small.

[Mhaeric]

Don't kid yourself. This game has some of the smallest most corridory zones in mmo history. It's undeniable. The reasons and whether or not 1.0 was better are irrelevant. They could have made it bigger, they did not. It's a cop out.

It is definitely deniable. Your definition of corridor is not very accurate, never mind that "corridory" is not a word.

As far as size, they could have made it bigger... at the expense of visual variety and quality. Feel free to show me an mmo with zones that are significantly larger which is just as high quality and which is just as varied in its look across a given zone. And it's not just visuals. Large zones need more stuff to fill them with. A larger area typically just means the same variety of mobs and quests are spread out over that larger area. You just end up with 1,000,000 square pixels filled with goblins instead of 500,000 square pixels filled with goblins. Or worse, large areas without any mobs or quests in them at all.
