Roadmap question ~ What does "radical changes to the in game world" mean

[Jinko]

I'm very curious to hear how a map, usually done in a modeling software that even you can download for free, wouldn't be compatible between 2 clients of the same game.

Because 1.xx is using a different game engine to 2.0. (not just a new graphics engine)

The maps in 1.xx are huge seamless zones and the very reason why we have boring copy pasted zones because otherwise they would cause too much strain on memory.

It's the very reason why we are getting new maps because people wanted more variety and the very reason why Yoshi-p asked us if we wanted smaller zones with more variety.

This has nothing to do with modelling its an issue of memory usage.

Right now the black shroud for example is 5 seamless zones ? in 2.0 it will probably (and I'm guessing here) be more like 2-3 broken up zones like 11 has.

I'm not going into any more detail on this because obviously you don't seem to understand.
