Anet had a chance to put a mystic forge and new portals in all the other major cities and direct players to go over there to do what they need to do, but alas I was wrong they just moved everything to Vigil Keep and all the other cities will remain devoid of players!

My question is why did they do that and what is keeping them from moving services special to LA to the others? Is it a population issue, a lore issue or a community strength issue that they would rather have only one city have a mystic forge and portals to the other cities/the mists?

I feel they may have squandered an opportunity to improve one of the issues with the game, because I want to hang out in the other cities but I always end up in LA since all the others are always so deserted…

I want to know what Anet is planning to do in the future to keep the other cities alive and I think this is a good time to bring it up now that the most centrally located/popular city is uninhabitable!

Why do you think they decided to move the services there and not to the other cities?

i’m assuming because it was an evacuation…move to the outskirts of LA, instead of traveling far, far away. setting up camp near LA to take it back, sounds legit to me.

I am not just talking about setting up camp or the Living Story, I am talking about permanent additions to the other cities and if it would help put some life into them. If you want a story: they built emergency portals/mystic forge in the other cities and they were good for trade and relations between races so they decided to keep them. That is just as plausible as constructing new services in the Vigil Keep

In one of the interviews it was implied/inferred they were letting the community choose where the new hub would be, they didn’t want to force people into one. So wherever the majority of people congregate will probably end up being the new hub city then Anet will add the essentials there.
