Layering is exactly the same as sharding - lets do some math

I think this is exactly the problem. It’s counter intuitive to a server developing its own little ‘subculture’ if you may… and that’s the sort of ‘world’ feeling people are after (in so many words).

Phase 1 will last 14 weeks tops. There is not much of a permanent culture that will evolve out of individual layers in that time frame. If there IS and the individual layers are large enough they could split the layers and Hogger 1 stays Hogger while Hogger 2 is now called Kobald Workers…

That is the major benefit of locked layers. And they far outweigh the culture merging argument that is the grandest example of a “what if” argument ever.

great opinion stated as a fact, I guess you are privy to inside information huh;

We haven’t yet determined exactly when phases 2-6 will occur, and PvP content is notably missing from the list above. That’s because we’re still evaluating our options regarding PvP rewards, as they also changed over time (both in power and in terms of which PvP reward items were available).
