IMO the map should be way smaller, a lot closer to the size of Athera. I've only played Athera and Vailor, but I much prefer the former. I feel there was much more RP to be had, with the roadside taverns and smaller map size. LotC is about RP, the interactions between real players, so why have a giant map the spreads everything out and makes a miserable time for someone who just wants to find an interesting RP situation right away. In Vailor I spend waaaay more time travelling from cart to boat, capital to capital, nation to nation, searching for RP, and it takes far too long to find anything than it's worth. This was a bit ranty, that's my opinion on the matter.
