I'm again almost stopped with the game. I just can't cope the boredom(sorry NGD). The 'feeling' you have in the initiation zone is gone. I don't know how to explain it well, but somehow you feel better in the initiation zone. Over there things look prettier, the landscape is more filled with details and looks better, there is less space between the quests so you're more sucked into the storyline. It just feels far more RPG, far more promising, if you know what I mean...
I think NGD should bring the atmosphere from the initiation island to the whole world to make it more attractable. Otherwise I will be gone forever or stuck at initiation island.
