Guild Wars 2

I just want to say that I really appreciate the work that went into all of the home cities and I hate that the majority of players hang out in Lions Arch. I am also guilty of doing this most of the time. I had a couple ideas the other day to increase the populations inside the home cities. Not sure if they have been expressed before but here they are…

To encourage travel to Home Cities there will be a reduced WP cost for territories under the control of that city. The 1-15 zone would be a free cost to the protecting city and the 15-25 would have a reduced amount. An example would be Queensdale and Kessex Hills would be under the protection of Divinities Reach. A discount could also be applied to high level zones for each corresponding city but it feels like though zones are still contested enough that a reduced wouldn’t be warranted.

The portal to exit the Myst would take the player to their corresponding home city. I am sure there will be a lot of rage for this but you can still travel to Lions free of charge with the existing gates.

The Asura have used technology recovered from the Molten Alliance’s sonic periscopes to develop a system of radio wave communicators that will allow the citizens of Tyria to communicate. This new system is limited within the home cities and Lions Arch.

Once again I really enjoy the home cities and hope to find new ways to get more people into them. Even if these idea are not to your liking maybe they will help to create a discussion for the subject. Thank you.

I really liked the idea about communication between home cities. Maybe ANet should consider that.

I agree home cities are ghost towns atm. ArenaNet should do something about it.
