We will be going to Meracydia (Australia) as the devs were there at least a few years ago on a trip to take photos a look at locations. They tend to hint at a location and then go there two patches later. They hinted about it in 6.0 in the famous in game don’t quit speech so it’s due to land in 8.0. Since they hinted at shard hopping in 7.0 with the hourglass, we will start hopping in 9.0.
