I don't know if you people have played Sins of A Solar Empire, but instead of a flat map like in GW1, the world map should be a 3D Globe, where you can rotate it and click on a location to travel there. You could bump map it to add realism, and instead of swords, you can put a 3D castle for a town and a castle tower for missions, and make it glow gold when you completed the mission. For expansions, Anet could just open up more towers/castles and for a whole new campaign it could be a whole new planet (or just fit it onto the same globe). If its just one planet, it would be great to make it large for extra expansions/campaigns. The background doesn't have to be black with stars, but instead could be a nice background, like in Sins Of A solar empire (something like this > http://game-and-player.com/images/inset/inset2_08_0214_sins.jpg but the planet being much larger)


Why this is a good idea
  • Just looks worse.
Why it may not work out
  • Requires creating a world map in the first place, which means having to decide on the layout of the entire globe from the start, with no benefit.
