I've only recently got into the Leeds fights (Yesterday was my first in 4.87) and it was infinitely more interesting than any of my past 4.86 battles for one main reason.
I didn't have a CLUE as to where I was, where I was going and where the enemy would come from.
Texas and Hamburg now are so god damned routine it feels like I'm there as a requirement rather than to actually have fun, thats why I stopped going. Its been so long since I've been in Bretonia, and Leeds has changed quite a lot since my last visit, that it was actually interesting.
