Does anybody remember the back alley quests in XI?

After completing it in each city you could choose where to exit from your house.

There were also several npcs that could teleport you across the wide city areas.


We know that they are not redesigning LL or UD for 2.0 but could we have some shortcuts to these areas please?


I hope the new design of Gridania's town takes into consideration the downtime happening in all the other areas. Ideally an area happening in few layers has the possibility to cram a lot of game content to a more interesting space. I never understood why MMO towns have to be so massive to begin with?
