Well, personally I always figured it'd be more of an open world dungeon anyway... Sort of like Mamook in Final Fantasy XI, but well... Hamlet Defense is seemingly dead and buried, so without a Besieged style assault of a Gridanian Hamlet by the Ixali, what's the point of Xelphatol as a enemy stronghold for the server to group together to fight back in?

Excuse me while I morn a future full of FATEs as our only "serious" open world content...
