When I joined the project, I was told it wasn’t possible to add to that corner of the map. I didn’t ask why - I accepted that if I were being told that, there would be a very good reason, and most likely there was at that point in time.
Until recently I never had the bandwidth to dig deeper into it - and while there is a little bit of work to be done, as long as we don’t create server performance issues in the process, I think it is possible to expand a bit more into Exiled Lands.
Now that that is on the table, we aren’t currently working in that corner of the map to any capacity, and if we ever do, it will have to be integrated into a feature or content we want to deliver.
I know this is going to stir up a lot of buzz, sojust to re-iterate, while it may be possible for us to craft that corner of the map, it requires further R&D, which is not currently under way.
