World Visit Should be in more Cities

[JSharpie]

I think that the World Visit should be expanded beyond the three Cities.

I'm sure the reason it's not is because it's a technical feature that may be complicating or excessive engineering work to imlement but a feature I think is important to have.

I initially thought, having the Marketboard and retainer at running distance from the Aetherite was the issue of why Limsa was the most populated area.

After seeing (EW Location)

Old Sharlayan

which also has the MarketBoard and Retainer at running distance. The city is now relatively empty.

I understand that there are people (pre-expansion MSQ) that don't have access to other cities as part of the problem. Because friends wants to play with friends new to the game.

However, I think having World Visit will help distribute players beyond the initial three cities (Mostly Limsa). Maybe not by much but it'll be something to make the other cities feel more alive.

It's pretty sad to see that the city that's really vast look empty especially where it would be considered a Townsquare/Market because people can only shop world travel in Limsa.

Although in Balmung Ul'dah is pretty populated I think but in my experience in other datacenters it's not very populated I think what may help with the population distribution is to move the Aetherite Crystal to somewhere like the middle of "The Gold Court". Still not better than Limsa's MB and Retainer distance but I think it's better than having it in a hole in a wall that you have to leave.

I wouldn't know how to solve Gridania, (HW location)

Ishgard,

(SB Location)

Kugane

or (ShB location)

Crystarium.

I could be in the minority and most people may think it's fine that Limsa should be the main Hub of the game. I personally think methods of distributing players will create more culture within the World and Datacenter.

Edit: Formatting by putting in the expansion name before the hidden sections of the post.

I would really enjoy being able to use it in Ishgard, for sure. I get really nervous in Limsa or Gridania due to the sheer amount of people there, I think it would better if it was more flexible indeed.

We were told that it would be these three starting cities on purpose and I got the impression it was just a choice and that they could have chosen anywhere else.

You can move far away from the aetheryte after you initiate it and it still transfers you after the queue is done so it feels like it could even be put into the travel menu.

The best argument for having more cities supported is that some of them get congested after hunts so you can't teleport to any of the three cities at all.

Allowing us to world hop from any main aetheryte would be a great QOL change. Teleporting itself isn't a huge deal, it's quick and cheap, but taking out the extra step of having to go to one of the Big Three then get "connecting flights" to the final destination would be nice.

More are needed, yes.

I can see it would be useful attached to cities where there is housing. As that number grows, then world travel points could grow.

This really should be implemented at some point.

At a minimum, I think it is unfair to people who have houses and apartments in Shiro (and Ishgard, once housing opens).

Our FC house is in Shiro so I'm curious why you say this. Would you please expand it a bit?
