Another problem I couldn't stop noticing was that the redesign everybody kept pushing in my face and praising consisted almost entirely out of blowing up stuff. It's like large parts of the world had been bombed silly for a few weeks (like Belgium in the first world war) and other pieces look like the local prison just released a whole lot of pyromaniacs. If it isn't on fire or spewing lava, it's either going to soon or it's just a dead field. There are still some untainted places, but it still creates the problem that the old balance between peaceful areas and chaotic areas is now somewhere in the sewer, so veteran players will be annoyed when they see their old world is now gone while new players will be thrown right into the war without any pacing whatsoever.
