The Island. Futures? NGD?

the island ... what are you going to do with it in the future?
why i ask? because that's what we offer, you don't doing, so it remains only to ask.

Its a good idea to transform the island in something interesting, but I think NGD should look at their game closely and examine the bugs they have and fix them. Making another update would make players forget the bugs for a moment and enjoy for a bit the new update. But when there is an update there is bugs. so instead of making more updates they should look at their current state of the game.

It would be nice, that whenever you want you go and have a chat with other realms, but wars will decrease, drastically.

Central Island better be for Christmas only. Wars decreased drastically. Game is alooot more boring.

I wait for all this to end, so things get back to normal.

Other things are coming. Instancing and the nearby offshore island close to Ignis territory was mentioned.

I prefer to wait and see how that all pans out before declaring any use for the central island. In any case, there have been numerous great ideas in the suggestions box for the center island. NGD could pick any of those to make use of the island. More importantly, the actual warzone landmass is an expanse devoid of that much interest . There are only a few choke points of interest. What of that ?
To me that seems more important than adding a singular flashpoint that will no doubt leave the rest of the map under used on smaller servers.

For now, leave it be.

Simple things like outposts which players must control for a time set to spawn special bosses, hidden quests, conditional spawn NPC's for RvR quests, artifact capture, more interesting ways and new objectives for invasions.
This is the way they should go.
These are not overly difficult to develop,has lower chance of being buggy, has longevity in terms of interest and allows valuable game real estate to be used equitably.
Couple this with an enhanced map which alerts players to War zone conditions at these locations and the game will be better for it.

With the lack of a realm chat, it would be a boon to have map zone alerts to draw players to incidents and as such make bigger and better war that can be spread to diverse areas all over the map. Servers like Horus will benefit because the lower populations are drawn to map events making the server seem alive. Larger servers like RA will no doubt have multiple alerts, allowing players multiple choice. Seems like something that would scale well across servers.

The best idea for Central Island is the Mercenary idea. although you could revamp a bit the island, its a bit boring lol. But this is a minor issue.
