    the only reason coerthas feel small is because the other zones are missing.
    I hope SE just saved them up as lv 51+ zones for 3.0
    I can't believe you'd be saying that if you actually spent time in Coerthas in 1.0. The scale between the two is an order of magnitude different.Cut that first map into four pieces. Any one of pieces is as large or larger than the Coerthas we have now.

    And just to you don't think I'm full of it, take a look at this video. Specifically, look at the map at 0:00 and then at 7:35. While a circuitous path is taken, it's still enough to give you a feel for the scale of the area.

    It seem that you don't have tried to ride the route through central highlands yourself in ARR to compare the time. It takes just as long as in the video (i tested it just now). And at 7:35 it is not in central highlands. The person left the central highlands at 4:35. He enter the "canyon that load the next zone while you ride through it" and reach the next zone at 5:30

    Only the hidden areas in Coerthas 'served as load time transitions', or to be more clear, they appear that way only because the subzones were in fact supposed to be hidden (i.e. Feathergorge, if I remember the name correctly, where Garuda's aether was hidden, and the two hamlets). Other areas could look out simultaneously on three subzones each almost the size of current Coerthas.
