so rumours in my guild have been that LA will be pretty much 2 zones (1 for people who need the old LA POI’s etc.. and the new one with it destroyed).. which will be cool as hell, yet fair to the new people who need map completion , personal story etc.
BUT if this actually goes well, what we really have been excited about is what if this new “2 different zones” thing goes well and what it could mean for the future of ORR.. just imagine if you could visit “post zaitan orr” and start to see what has happened since the end of your personal story.
now THAT would be a living story IMO

As far as exploration goes – The “new” Lion’s Arch is where you will be.
The “old” Lion’s Arch arch will probably only be accessible for personal story related activity only. Which is VERY cool all the same. It shows that they are really starting to show us that the events that occurred in the PS are in the past.

I don’t think they would do this with Orr.
Orr was designed to be an end-game zone. It’s sort of failed at that, but not completely – people do the temple events.
Splitting the playerbase between a past and present version of maps is not a good idea because it would make Orr’s already sparse population even sparser.
With Lions Arch, it’s not actually a separate map for people who need POI’s – map completion will take place on the new, destroyed version of LA, – it’s a separate version of LA for people going through the personal story. Of course we don’t know the exact details, but we will tomorrow.

Two zones? News to me.
I’ve seen it stated that the map of Lion’s Arch will be fully map completable – you’ll just need to find new means to get to certain areas (I presume places like Lost Grotto, the vistas above Trader’s Forum, etc.). Given this, there’s no reason for ArenaNet to make “2 different zones”.
Nor can I see them doing this to Orr, nor LA, given Kessex Hills’ major change.

Konig, the assumption that there will be 2 zones comes from people misinterpreting part of the Massively interview. It was stated that they have worked on a way to allow any personal story missions that take place in Lions Arch to be completed – but that presumably just means that, like always, they will be instanced and may be accompanied by a new explanation for why it has to be instanced.
