All areas should be unique and special in some way, but areas targeted at the same level(s) should of course provide the same experience. I think that's what Sabu was getting at - that there should be more places to farm when there are more people on.

I happen to agree, but my agreement is based on my opinion that there should be more people and then area builders *cough*me*cough* would be happy to ramp up area coding. How often have people gone to the grounds recode? Not very, I imagine. How much feedback has there been from non-immortal players? Zero. So there's really no reason for more areas right now, though I'm still totally for random encounters...

Anyone want to spit out ideas for random world-map encounters?
