I have so many questions I'd love to ask. So prepare your questions too. It will be great!

Remember to ask about the giant phallic uncharted rock sticking straight into Jahai. And remember, the ALREADY MADE map art for that area, they just decided to leave a giant penis instead

It was likely to make it less rectangular. But I like my maps how I like my quadrilaterals: Angles 90° and parallel sides of equal length, so this new design is not to my liking.

They made this map look as close as possible to the GW1 zones as possible, and that (as well as the the three distortion areas) were empty spots. Technically the BMP of Turai's Story occurred there, though, but mostly where the three distortions were than to the side.

This was done, not just for making the map less rectangular, as they've been doing more and more in the LW maps since S3, but also to keep to GW1 design of the world map.

Keeping it to GW1 design? That'd be a first.

They don’t have to let us actually go there if that somehow conflicts with lining up the games or whatever, but given the fact that that rock will almost certainly never be a part of another map, it should be filled in now on the map. We’ve had plenty of areas that size be filled in but inaccessible.
