I supose i might have migrated to Uldah... if it was more appealing to the eye. I find it utterly discusting, along with the outside of Thanalan.

Where as Limsa is a nice port town with lots of boats and water views. Gridania is a green green... green forest atmosphere, which would be my fav, cept its practically deserted. Uldah is just tall walls and beige and grey colored tones, maybe the dreary colors turn me off. Or its the fact that all my enemys congregate there, haha.

Im sure in time when the world opens up, so will the prime town location. If it is the middle where ppl tend to be most, then my theory of Gridania being the middle might win after they open Ishgard and the surounding areas. For those of you who wish to know my theory its summed up with, Grid being the central airship hub, which can take you to Thanalan, La Noscea. And once the other 2 citys open up (Ala Mhigo and Sharlavan), The black shroud would be the area youd have to cross to get to them. But SE can can change my idea with simply putting the airship hub in Ishgard and that will most likely be the new popular town. (kinda like how XI worked out). I dont like to hold tight to theorys cause its only speculating the possable future. I just wait to see what will happen.

Linked wards would solve popularity problems, but i find that making things too easy.
Delivery boxes would be a better solution to that issue. You can easily shout on ur LS to check something in another town and trade via delivery.
