At most you'd just see people afk in the water just because they can.

    I mean how often do you see people swimming in Costa del Sol when there's not an event going on?
    To me, it was more of the idea of having at least one major city with swimming in it. You do have swimming in Rhalgr's Reach though, which plenty do swim there. I can't agrue the Costa Del Sol though.
    I just always felt that Limsa has all this water in it and you can't swim in any of it. I remember being disappointed about that when I was a new player.

    maybe my server is boring I dont see people swiming there either maybe if people could swim underwater in these areas would be more popular, but as it stands now the feature to swim has turned out to be kinda forgettable it seems

    It's really a shame issues like this exist because many areas, city and abroad alike, are absolutely beautiful.

    I can agree that it most certainly has died off and become a forgettable thing. I think part of that is that the 4.0 zones have flying where you can swim; and any old zones with swimming in it simply has nothing to do there anymore. That's why I see people swim in Rhalgr's Reach, it's more that they're crossing the river as a shortcut due to lack of flight.

    The idea is a nice one but I suppose it would be a waste of resources. When I think about it, it would be to have it for the sake of it in the grand scheme of things.
