Fix to the problem with everyone gathering in Ul'dah

[Sephrick]

Travel between the three cities should also have been free after a quest in my opinion, but then this game doesn't have anywhere near enough gil sinks.

Could be solved with entrance to instances costing Gil.

I think SE sould sync all the market wards together and have shouts heard in all citys under one channel. That way people would not need to stay in Ul'dah and go to a city state of choice

OMG! No that would be too easy, someone up with something in between brilliant and the sad scenario we have right now.

Don't know if it's been said, but this has been confirmed for 2.0.

Also, adding a global chat channel would help so people didn't have to shout in any one city. There are a lot of options and fixes that they can do to help out the sitution but we wil have to wait until 2,0 to get the,.

Nuke it.

Just freakin' nuke the place and people will move somewhere else.

A lack of centralized AH and no new iteration of "Conquest" has lead to Ul'dah turning into that hip retro quarter arcade that smells of smoke and nerd sweat. What is the point of hanging out in Grid or LL? They were your starting city? Pffff big whoop. You don't like your mom just because she happened to pop you out into this world.

The lack of competition and rivalry between the city states has lead to everyone clustering in Ul'dah since it has arguably the best layout. Need some incentive to keep our HP's out of that place and I think Hamlet defense just might be the key.

Each Grand Company has to fight off hordes of mobs Behest style. Like the throwback from FFXI losing means important NPC's go missin' Except now instead of a single location to defend we have 3. Thus we need some OTHER incentive to keep the Weed strokers and one eyed pirates back where they belong. Hows about a mass reward system for people in the Company? If your GC best defended against the attacks, or went and raided some kind of trinket from the beastmen's camp then there is no tax on your market ward. Returns back to your citystate are free. Cost of anima usage in the surrounding areas is reduced. A boon to anima regen. Yoshi-P comes in game and tells you stories around a camp fire and rubs your belly.



There is a whole slew of things they could tempt us with but like many have said before me. True balance won't happen until 2.0 even if Hamlet defense is coming out next patch. There really isn't any reason to fix it early.

~~~DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW FAST YOU WERE SCROLLING?~~~

TaruTaru/Gobby half breed? 77% of people answered WRONG! Can you tell the difference?

[Niqote]

Yes please... linking would be wonderful

[Rokien]

do you really want global chat... wish more people flooding your chat log.... come on now, global chat is terrible, that's what linkshells /tells are for.

Main shout channel and connected wards is the way to fix this. I don't care if this breaks immersion for some people.

Main shout channel does nothing good in any MMO that has it. It's just a spam channel and it doesn't spread people out because everyone still gravitates to one hub spot. We're perfectly fine without a universal spam channel lol.

Solution: Open Ishgard, then everyone will gather in Ishgard. :P

what if SE were to make the distance traveled between each city-state the same...of course with varying terrain and mobs...this way no one city becomes the hub of all activity...maybe even adjust the leves and quest involved so they all get an equal share of outstanding and not so outstanding rewards
