One to Fifty, One Zone - Long OP

[Daedae]

Woot, a crown, and nearly 100 pages of (generally) unified support! Congrats everyone, and especially Siobu for this awesome thread, our adventure is coming it seems! You're excited, I'm excited, we're ALL excited!

Great dev response, I was a bit worried but now I'm even more optimistic about the future!

How does the OP not have a monument built for him, isn't the emblums related to Likes?

Seeing that this thread is reaching 100 pages, it's understandable that many are going to now skip the majority of posts. (Even I wouldn't read a 100 page thread as a new arrival!)

I will try to summarize a little what we've discussed. The world is already divided by zoning and loading screens; we are within seams. And within these seams, we have enemies from 1-99 and one main set of scenery per zone. This is why we see them as zones instead of proper regions.

The country of Canada is not just snow. It's got many, many different types of environments. From the beaches of freshwater lakes, to the Atlantic and the Pacific Oceans, to woods and forests, to mountains, to rocky terrain, and of course, frozen coastlines, snow, and ice. (And we can narrow everything even smaller than that. The province of Ontario is not just ice, but it's also not just forest. It's a multitude of different environments.)

Or, the state of New Jersey (USA)? Sandy saltwater beaches. Forests. Freshwater lakes. Woods. Farmland. Bogs. The Pine Barrens.

For such a small state, it actually has much more diversity than the 'region' Thanalan!

(Oh, I hope no one gets out the measuring tape! I always have seen MMO zones as scaled down versions of true to life places. If a zone is a 'forest,' I could imagine it as the size of one in relation to life, for example. )

And although we can alternate right now in Eorzea: woods, desert, grassy, desert, grassy, woods, rock, desert, grassy, woods, woods, grassy, rock.

It can only get even better when we have even more to enjoy: beach, desert, marshlands, snow, woods, mountains, tundra, moorland, rock, jungle, swamps, grassy, canyons.

Thanks again for stopping by, everyone!

(Edit: Viion! So funny.)

Even SE Posted where the "Zone" lines were, oh and called them "zones"

I hope SE doesn't take the same approach they have been taking lately with everything else.

Players don't like fighting the same mobs. - No problem we will make them bigger.

Players don't like the spell animations. - No problem we will make them bigger.

Players don't like the party system. - No problem we will add some text to let them know they are in a party...... and then make it BIGGER.

Did that player just rank up? - LETS MAKE IT BIGGER!!!!!!!

Players don't like the zones. - Easy we will make players smaller, that will make EVERYTHING BIGGER!!!!!
