Was Mordremoth behind the Nightmare after all? From seeing the Shadow of the Dragon in the Dream during the first sylvari personal story step, to finding out that sylvari came from Mordremoth and that the Pale Tree protected them through the Dream, to the very first trailer to Heart of Thorns, and even beyond that, seeing sylvari being the first to answer Mordremoth's call, it felt like the narrative was setting up to reveal that Mordremoth was the puppeteer behind the Nightmare Court's influence. But it didn't quite do that. It strongly suggested as much, but you can still argue that Mordremoth's control was actually altogether separate from Nightmare, particularly since the majority of any involvement that Malyck and the Nightmare Court were supposed to have in Heart of Thorns was stripped down to a solitary captive courtier, Faolain, and the Baroness we'd never seen before helping us fight the Mouth of Mordremoth. This begs the question of - is the Nightmare Court is actually capable of recruiting and converting Dreamers at this time, and they doing so? Although we have had confirmation that dragon minions will continue to act out their masters' will after its death, we've never seen an Elder Dragon continue to influence others to join its cause from beyond the grave. In the Labyrinthine Cliffs, there's an NPC all by his lonesome on top of a cliff with some interesting dialogue. We also saw a Mordrem Guard in the HoT story who was able to show some resilience to Mordremoth's influence in a place where his whispers couldn't reach him so easily, and had a brief moment of lucidity before attacking. Is this a suggestion that a sylvari can come back from being under Nightmare's influence, or is there something beyond draconic influence that turns sylvari towards the Nightmare?

There are more than 500 roleplayers. Joining an alliance won't work for the community. No, people don't RP in the WvW maps, but server DOES matter for which map instance/IP address you get put into if all other factors are equal. It matters, and hopefully it's still being taken into consideration.

How will this change affect megaservers for roleplayers? Or anyone else who likes to see the same people's names when they load into open world maps? Although guild is a large factor when determining which IP players are assigned to when they load a map, world also played a part. If you destroy Piken Square and Tarnished Coast, what happens to guildless roleplayers, or roleplayers from several guilds who are guild capped? Do they get scattered? This could be the worrying final nail in the coffin for open world roleplay if this hasn't been considered. It sounds like you've thought of almost everything where WvW is concerned, but map assignment is still very important for a subsection of this game's community.
