Most of whats coming out of 2.0 looks great, but the one thing i dont understand after it being the by far #1 complaint (changing the poorly designed world) is why the citys are gonna stay the same (correct me if im wrong...because i hope to be).

Although i find Uldah to be just fine, the other 2 IMO need some re-adjustments. They are a bit oversized and spread out, which is likely part of why noone wants to be there on purpose.

The other thing is i dont think the placement is being changed, which once again will make everything stay the same where all the people gather at Uldah. FFXI IMO had got it done pretty well with spreading the starter citys out wide enough from each other and the main eventual gathering town (Jueno) that staying in your main city made sense (among other things).

Will 2.0 end up playing out the same way with the overcrowded Uldah? will the oversized other citys stay exactly the same? It might not be a huge thing, but it will be kind of sad to see those other places barely being used yet again do to bad map location design and not making any changes at all to the citys (who wouldnt like a new city with a more convient layout?)
