PETITION: Retcon the size of Gallia in future versions.

[Mímir]

It's never gonna happen anyways. And yeah it would be unfair to characters based in Liberty, although it might be an incentive to create new (and very Gallic) characters, that some might come to enjoy more than their Liberty ones once the week is over. But it is a tragedy that we have all this beautifully crafted and totally unused space. And it is a problem that such a large part of the server population never ventures out of Liberty (and some never venture more than 10K away from Manhattan) - it's a vicious cycle because players attract more players: If I want to pirate, Liberty is the place to go because a lot of the most commonly used trade routes start/stop or pass through Liberty and this is where all the traders are. No fun in hugging a trade lane in Gallia for 6 hours, while only NPC's passes by, and no fun in policing Gallia when there are no criminals etc.

Perhaps changing the trade routes so Liberty isn't such a big centre for trading, but that will take away from the lore, I guess. How about a financial crisis sweeping Liberty, causing a lot of companies to go bankrupt, thus no longer buying/selling certain goods?
