How to Decentralize Ul'dah

[darkstarpoet1]

I honestly think it is just the games fault that Ul'Dah is the center.
The story, unknowingly to the creators, would make Ul'Dah the main city.
If they would have had each city state have their own story from the beginning
to end of the scenario as they should have, wouldn't be a problem.
They could have had 3 primal fights leviathan, ifrit, titan
for each city state. That would have kept each city decently full.
Then grand company added on top of that, bam more incentive to feel pride for your
starting city. They screwed up MAJOR by making the story so quick and streamlined.
That is the reason Ul'Dah is center - it was made so without knowing.

honestly, i moved to uldah well before the mass migration before the server population even died. why did i move there? it wasn't because of the story. it wasn't because that's where most people were. it was because i was working on multiple classes at once and very rarely port anywhere and prefer to run places.

if my main point was limsa(which it was my starting zone) to get to grid i had to take the boat and run by uldah to run to grid.

if my main point was grid i had to run past uldah and then take the boat to get to limsa.

by spending most of my time in uldah if i wanted to go to either city i was already halfway. i moved there because of pure convenience and t being centrally located on the map.
