Old sharlayan. I love this place. It looks great, has this greek style that FFXIV seems to have a fetish for and the night time music is some of the comfiest I have ever heard. It is such a good city.

I've always had a soft spot for one of the city-hubs in Dungeon Siege 2, Eirulan, which is the city of Dryads. I don't know, the idea of a city built on tree canopies connected by moving plataforms is super generic but something about it made it atypically memorable for me. Also the two Unknown systems in Freelancer were nice to discover, I still remember pain-stakingly flying through them for hours on end just to be sure that there really were absolutely no secrets in either of them, crossing way points in just the right way to be sure that the sensors would have picked up anything in the map grid. I even went to some of the more "obvious-looking" landmarks that weren't at the normal altitude, just to be 100% sure. Some mods did even put random content there like some black holes, but then that's modding and you would have found it from the other end anyway.

This place hates me, but I love it

Ross Scott's desire to capture and save entire video game worlds as walk-arounds is a fantastic idea. When a game dies (or is murdered), all that work, effort, and love is lost forever. Imagine being able to take a world from one type of game and implement it in another. Or imagine a 3D game world from an isometric world being traversible from ground level. Sometimes even absolute fucking shit modern games have great world maps, but they aren't worth playing to experience it. That can change if we have a map extractor.
