To put it simple. deadwood and snow town suck.
the way the map looks now is fine. don't make it worse lol. Noobs barely know where to go the way it is now.
when you look around forums it just becomes obvious we need a quest notebook of some sort to show which quests/dailyjobs we haven't to done.
we need a better events system.
we need a better fort/tower system that doesn't just give hats away to guilds that are TEMPORARILY formed for the sake for 1,000 hours.
The best way to get players in areas like deadwood and snowtown is re-doing them and making things there that guilds and solo pkers/dress up noobs/chatty weirdos/sparrers can do.
