How to Decentralize Ul'dah

[Technolust]

Considering the story quest funnels everyone to Ul'Dah I find it hard to decentralize the population.

I fail to see how the main story quest would make it hard to decentralize Ul'dah, seriously.

They should really add air ships, yano!?

Still wouldn't solve the problem due to market wards.

Have anything to suppost that a centralized city is harmfull to game play or balance issues ? I find it rather convienent myself.
Uldah is one stop for everything......i believe I saw a plaque somewhere stating it was founded by someone named Sam Walton.

Continue the story outside of Ul'dah.

Continue the story outside of Ul'dah.

That's another good point. Ul'dah is very involved with the main scenario.

Are you serious? No where did I say it was harmful. Think about it a little more.

No not really, because you'll still have lazy people.

Another point is if you give people the option to teleport they wont use it. What would be the point of putting items in different wards if everyone uses Ul'dah?

The point of my OP was to decentralize Ul'dah, and imo to do that the changes I proposed are the way to do it.

I would never use a world chat.
I can only imagine how fast that thing would be scrolling
and pretty much all the useless information constantly moving.
no thanks.

you'd still have lazy people with world chat.
either way you go, there is always going to be
the people who don't really care where they are.

And I was referring your response to market wards not world chat.

just have the option to teleport to the other wards from within the ward you're in.
and implement the XI LFP and /sea system.

Problem solved.

Why wouldn't you congregate in the area in which your overall objective is taking place? Waste of time(and anima?) being in Gridania if your quests are in Ul'Dah.

Why would you congregate in an area based off of one set of quests? What there are 11 main story quests in the game and if you started in a region outside of Ul'dah you have 4 main story quests that take place in your home town? So that leaves you with 7 quests that you do in Ul'dah which are spread between your class rank.

Yet if your a MRD, LNC, ARC, CON, FSH, CUL, BOT, BSM, ARM, or CRP all of your guild releated quests as well as guild mark leves are in regions outside of Ul'dah. Pretty soon your going to have to chose your Grand Company you will join and most people will pick Ul'dah because Ul'dah is where everyone does things. Centralized locations in a game world that offers you choices to do other things is retarded. It just forces people to make choices based on how grouping will be based.

World Chat, and linked Market Wards will make this no longer a factor in stuff you want to do in this video game.
