LOL...no it isn't. It's just a poorly made overworld. And even if it was designed for a 2k playerbase it would still be a poorly made overworld. ^^

It would be pointless to shrink the overworld. What good would that do? Do you think players will suddenly start spreading out? Nope, you will still only find them at TC and the ET center. So then you just have a smaller area, lots of wasted effort from the levels deleted, and absolutely no benefits.

The point of this thread is to fix navigating the overworld so that it isn't one huge maze. Warping is besides the point, as if the overworld was constructed well, you'd want to explore the areas between cities anyways.

The problem is that the new levels are part of the problem.
Xelt made them look really good, detailed, nice trees etc. (No offense) but it's not very practical. I mean it's almost impossible to get to Delta from Town Center without using the warper.

I don't know if you guys have checked the area between TC and Delta lately but the maze was removed in favor of a road leading you straight there...

Yeah, if you can't find a way from Delta to TC, you really should focus on the fact all you basically have to do is hold the up arrow. It's not that complicated.

On a daily basis, I only see players covering 9-10 levels on average that are truly used. Otherwise, the rest of it is just a one-time use for something useless or quest.
