Insignificant?
It's like adding a whole new dimension to Graal.

Imagine being able to zoom out and see MORE. Since it's all shrinking, you're seeing further into the north, east, west, and south, all at the same time. Truly a fascinating experience in the Graalian world.

Imagine a real-time map making use of the zoom feature. With some mouse-over capabilities, and maybe some other neat tricks you scripters can come up with, you'd have something started... not sure exactly what though. An administrator could have a nice control panel of the overworld. Look at an overworld map, zoom in to areas, towns, or just specific players. Maybe a click-and-warp feature.

Futuristic servers like Era and Zone could possibly have camera-technology for players to use...

Wouldn't this all be possible?

Flying technology is way to advanced for the 2D servers. It would be useless for every current classic playerworld, because they're not nearly large enough to even make flying useful; take ten minutes and you've walked all of UN, it would make the experience even more upsetting when you fly through it and see it all in five.

On the other Hand: there would be a cool way to create bigger playerworlds without using odd stuff like trams or ships - you could just fly to another continent

A three dimensional gmap would also be interesting, but probaply hard to realize.

GK isn't exactly large... especially considering the only thing that takes so long to walk across the map is the poor speed system and hilly terrain. Oh, and you're pretty stuck on the idea flying technology being used only for flying. There are a lot of possibilities for it.
I think, level wise, UN is larger than GK. I haven't counted though.

A balloon would shorten the time needed to get from far points of each island. The quests would be easy, especially the escort ones

Well, would you not have to take into account weather, birds, etc. etc when flying? I dunno. Just in my own little world right now.

We'll see. I'm glad people are still excited over it though.
