How to spread everyone around?

[Ivar]

Ok, I am just curious of what everyone here thinks, that would be a good solution to move everyone camping at Ul'dah or its nearest zones to all overEorzea ?

I know a little more game content in those cities would help but I am not sure. Sure it will keep me occupied in a certain town for shortwhile but then I would come back to Ul'dah because of the market and various other things.

So, please feel free to input good and constructive solutions and hopefully maybe one of those SE developers might stumble on this thread and get some ideas.

P.S. If this has been discussed before, if you can please provide me a link to it. ^^

Instanced dungeons (mentioned here in response after question 10) should give incentive for leaving Ul'dah, along with other world redesigns.

In another thread I proposed a solution involving a World Market to make use of Limsa Lominsa and Gridania empty market wards. It's not exactly light reading, but theres a picture and examples to help illustrate.

#1, equal distances between each city and Ishgard,
#2, don't put Uldah in between Limsa and Gridania, from each city, it should take an equal amount of time to reach the other two cities.
#3, make Limsa and Gridania as easy to navigate as Uldah.

Problem solved.

For real? Gridania's a single map. If you have trouble navigating that, you're... not bright.

#4, don't put every important crafting guild in Uldah

Well, that's not true at all. Only crafting guilds are Weaver and Goldsmithing. Obviously others are located in the other two cities. >.>

Thanks for the info. I will check it out. ^^

why? theres zero need to spread people around. The only time you should think about this is when we have another option to travel that does not involve a 45 min walk... anima comes back way to slow for travel to be MORE spread out.

I agree theres no need to spread everyone around. It's actually better to have one city, imo, where the market and stuff is. Just like jeuno/au in ff11.

There will always be a centralized area where people gather, whether player chosen or dev chosen, it will be there. At least that's what I think.

Ul'dah is the most ergonomically designed city. Aethryte, wards, repair NPC, city exit, adventurers guild, and retainer all near each other. And there's multiple routes to get to each with the ability to adjust a route with a wrong turn.

Limsa and Gridania are more linear, resources more scattered, more imaginitive, but less time friendly.

This.

Good point, hadn't thought of that.
