Love the minimap and woldmap revamp

Okay, awesome, I am so glad we'll be able to actually relate locations now. xD

However, the new design makes it PAINFULLY obvious how channelized and restricted ARR (and yes, even HW) zones are. Ew. @_@ Soooooooo much skipped area. I always felt it before, but good grief lol.

I would say this way makes more sense though as it povides 2 very important things.

Room to expand. Instead of the same old zones in old areas, they could expand make others in case the need arises.
Climate seperation. Showing this sort of distance between zones so a desert isnt right next to a snow zone makes things much more realistic. That is something that I personally always found annoying about other games. Random snow areas surrounded by fire zones.

Oh I agree completely. I was just commenting that the obvious channeling really made me cringe. The ARR zones feel so claustrophobic. The HW zones are bit better, but they're still hampered by really annoying invisible walls and nonsensical "you can't actually stand here despite being able to fly over it" spots.
