I agree. I’m not entirely too fond of them. Ultimately if there were not a way to catchup progress though then new players that didn’t join 2 years earlier on an established MMO would not be able to do any new content until going through ALL old content, which will often mostly be empty unless it’s properly utilised in the new content which isn’t the case currently as tos just makes new maps.
That makes an interesting question really. What happens when they run out of new maps to make, reaching full exploration of the map the world currently has?
Do we want them to just expand the existing map. Or do we want the content after that to start making changes to the existing game world that will have become established?
Personally I prefer the latter. Changing the existing game world. ToS has a lot of potential for that to occur as they could easily either have Medzio Diena (the plant apocalypse) destroy the world even further, or have the Revelators reverse the effects of Medzio Diena and bringing humanity to a new, lush, happier world… With a new threat/problem perhaps.
