Other Towns Getting Attention ?
Pretty sure everyone will settle in the most convenient city which will then become another LA for us.
People go where others are, they are not going to spread around, if they would, they would have done it already.

Vigil Keep will probably be the hub. It has dungeon gear vendors and fractal gates.

When it became more clear that there would be an attack on Lion’s Arch, I wondered if the developers were doing it as a way to get players into other areas of the world. They have stated that they don’t want the cities to be dead zones, and this might be one way to kick off such a thing.
Now if they make LA out of commission as a hub for a while, then implement some additional incentives for players and guilds to spend more time in a city. Perhaps guild halls are located in any city, but your guild can only have them in one city, or cities each have unique city features like having specific dungeon vendors unique to that city. Who knows. They already started giving players one incentive – the home instanced daily nodes to farm. I’m willing to bet that was a lead-in to something more.
Lion’s Arch won’t go away completely. It will return, but I bet its different. I hope it’s different, because people use like 5% of the map as it is now which is kind of a shame.

The only reason I ever used LA was for LA-specific services like Mystic Forge and dungeon vendors. Spread those out and I’d base out of Divinity’s Reach.
…which is what I do most of the time anyway because Divinity’s Reach is the best city in the world. You demi-humans get out of there. Quickly is fine.
Move the Mystic Forge to the Grove plz.
Move everything (including home instince gifts) to fort trinity plz.
Move everything (including home instince gifts) to fort trinity plz.
Problem with that is that it makes all the old LA stuff exclusive to very high lvl characters which is against what anet stand for+ fort trinity has DE inside it so i doubt itll be made into a stable player hub anytime soon
