i don't know if this has been discussed before but what would you say about some new elite areas that could bring something new to the game.I was thinking since the underworld is the realm of grenth and fow is the realm of balthazar why wouldn't there be a dwayna's realm,a melandru's realm and a lyssa's realm.I always wondered what's with those statues in ToA and it would be nice to make some elite areas similar to uw and fow in dificulty and rewards.So what do you think about this?

I lol'ed about this

, since i just mention this as a posible mini-expansion for a 'weekend of the gods' event

...

Some-one answered to this suggestion (in weekend events thread) that Lindsey has allready mentioned this is very unlikely to happen, mainly because of limited resources in the life team

... but non the less the idear isnt to bad and i still find it weird Only Grenth and Baltazar get a nice elite area for us to play in ... The other gods must be pretty jelous by now

Use the search function and you will find this has been suggested many times before. Post in one of those topics instead of making a new one. Yes, most people agree that this would be a good addition, but the time and money it would take Anet to implenent it would be beyond their abilities currently.

a new elite area can take 3-5 months to make. So, as Arghore said, there's no enough resources.

But I'd still this to happen anyway :P

Or they could create one new elite realm who's ownership is in dispute by the gods.
When one god gets an edge that god holds sway for a time.

Would that be too unworkable or just plain bad as an idea.

Enter thread 182,204,194,092 of "New Areas" and thread 84,204,092 of "New God Realms" thread.

Been discussed, and the answer is will not happen. Why? Because Linsey said that a single area takes a least 20 people from concept art to programming everything. Which is more than the Live Team has.

Besides, even if they did, one new area would only give at most two months worth to the average player. Then it will just be the same case all over again, and the area would be farmed and farmed until any unique drops become average to the player base.

If new content is added, it has to be at least on par with Eye of the North in size.

Well, lore wise, the reason you are in the realms is you are pushing back the invaders (Balths brother person, and the old god of death). Apparently its all happy elves/hippes/idk whats in lyssas realm 0_o in Dwaynas/Melendrus realms.

Yes, this has been discussed before. Some new content may be added every few months, but nothing this large, as Konig mentioned.

Closed.
