I think ...Interesting post, got me really thinking. I think thats one of the problems with WAR is it's immersion, investment into your virtual world. I remember riding a horse through parts of albion, going wow. <BR/><BR/>Without the investment, it's easier for people to walk away. I know people won't leave WoW for the simple fact of all the time they did invest.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2398974193103554762.post-91005153129650863972009-04-03T08:08:00.000-07:002009-04-03T08:08:00.000-07:00Right on.The wyvern experience is the perfect exam...Right on.<BR/><BR/>The wyvern experience is the perfect example of immersion vs. convenience.

We don't get bolster when we go into the RvR lakes.<BR/><BR/>I agree with you about the map confusion and the location of scenarios. I can tell what pairing they belong to, but only a few make their locations obvious: Caledor Woods, Battle for Praag, Reikland Hills, etc. <BR/><BR/>I'm sure that an instanced world is important for client stability or whatever nonsense, but I really miss the ability to travel the entire map without hitting an instance portal. The world feels very disconnected. Even though flying in WAR -- click a button, get a loading screen, arrive -- is faster than taking the wyvern or gryphon was in WoW, I liked the fact that I could look at the landscape and scenery while flying.Jenniferhttp://girlirl.blogwarhammer.netnoreply@blogger.com
