There are no maps to unlock in the current version only gates. What she means is that when you make the maps unclouded from 0-100% you get achievements.

I know. But if the gates remain as it is, we can just port whatever we want and the maps will unlock.

Huh? That isnt how it works, the map will unlock as you explore, like Diablo 3 or FF13, you have to run around, you will only make a section of it visible.

So sure you could tele there, but you will only unlock like 2% of the map since you'll only unlock a radius around you at a time. You still have to go gallivanting around.

Was it stated that the already existing aetherites will stay? Like, if you have Camp Dragonhead (w/e) unlocked, will you be able to port to its counterpart? I pretty much doubt that.

Oh, and I also hope you won't be able to port others to places they haven't been before come 2.oh. I don't want to be able to reach all city states within a few minutes on my first day of playing XIV as with v1.0.

Awww yeah.

Wonder what the title will be for exploring the new maps...

Some people require a reward for doing something or they don't find it worthwhile.

The required activities for them are merely "a means to an end", or a "necessary evil".

That's a pretty close minded view of a large population of players. For me, I play the game because I enjoy playing... and achievements just enhance my experience

Well I think, unlike our current maps, the new ones will probably have a smaller level range in them. Can't find any source but I thought this was mentioned at some point. Instead of each area being 1-99. Early maps will be easy to explore at cap I'm guessing.
