Reflooding the Tempest?

[Lium]

I get that it's "never" for gameplay reasons. Just kinda crappy thing to do to a whole civilization already on the brink of extinction from the Flood. Maybe they could do player phasing such that part of the Tempest becomes a swimming zone to show that it's slowly coming back.

I was just going to say, this would definitely require phasing of some sort. Is that in this game already?

For new players or new characters accessing The Tempest for the first time, they would see it as it is now. But for players and characters that already completed ShB, they would get a phased version of The Tempest, where Amaurot was gone. Some other MMOs do stuff like that.
