Guild Wars 2

An arguement we’ve heard with southsun a few months back will come back rearing its ugly head when permanent content comes a knocking: dead zones.

Part of the reason why Anet initially pushed for temp content, was that it kept things fresh and zones didn’t get stale. Look at southsun now. It may still be available, but where are the people who want to do it? They’re in whatever new living story we have, or out doing WvW/PvP/dailies.

Players, is this what you really want? an expanding portfolio of dead zones?

EDIT: This doesn’t apply to all living story content updates, of course. This speaks more to the addition of new maps in general.

Part of the problem with southsun is that there’s nothing to do.
Give me 1 reason to do stuff in that area?

Look at GW1, when they added Sorrow’s Embrace.
That place was active for years.

Now I would love for more permanent content.
Emphasis on content.

Not really sure what you’re getting at.

What, you mean the 2 rares you get…
The enthralling fight…
The epic events needed to summon her…

Ohwait…
