@Naimah Not true, All of the leveling spots for 20+ were really close to jeuno compared to the other nations for about another 30 levels. Either way, the server is to create the feeling of a 2005 server. Back then, everyone's hp was in jeuno
Nabutso you're totally not understading me.... I am in agreeance with the quote above.....I am saying the reason Jeuno is not a main hub like back in the day is due to the fact that level sync is preventing it from happening.... I am not even debating putting an OP warp in Jeuno.
I'd say that level sync plays just a tiny role in Jeuno being nothing but a bazaar hub. Jeuno was the place to homepoint when you hit low 20's on retail because that's where you'd party for a very long time. But when you got to higher levels and could access things easier and learned about outpost warps, most players reverted back to cities anyway. The reason no one hangs out in jeuno is because we've been given access to it through whitegate and holiday gifts of tidal talismans. Jeuno itself has very little access to anything outside of a mid level exp party and if your homepoint were set there you'd quickly realize that it shouldn't be. Airships are slow. Outpost warps are the way to go. I used to be a fan of the jeuno op warp idea but I think people are proud of their home nations and that would pretty much take that away. We don't need everyone on the server town afking to all be in one spot anyway. That can't be good for server performance. The town hubs are great the way they are now. I feel you on trying to recreate that old jeuno retail vibe because it is absent here but the conveniences offered in place of it outweigh that tiny aspect of the nostalgia, for me anyway.
I partially agree here. But I feel that you are missing a bit here. When I played retail, I always remembered the phrase "all roads lead to Jeuno". It's in the game, players heard the phrase, and it made sense. Back then, the AH's were separate. They had their own economy and people congregated to Jeuno not only for being close to leveling areas, as mentioned above, but also because of the AH had a larger selection because of it being a node for the three cities and a central hub to lfp, and gather for events. That was why several people, including higher levels, always hung out in Jeuno/Whitegate.
They built these places to be a place of commerce. In Carbuncle, we had people bazaaring outside upper Jeuno. So I mean I didn't hit end game in 05, so I can't tell you if majority of end game players stayed in their home town. But what I can add to the discussion is why it was lively. After all the Ah's were combined together in retail, I noticed players hanging around more in their home town. Again it's personal experience and I can't apply that inter-retail. I hope this added to the discussion.
