Do we prefer the AO map or WoM map?

Personally I prefer the WoM map since the areas felt like they had more to them rather than being a small island which you can explore in 15 seconds. Also encounters with other players in WoM felt way better since its large area and no sea to run to.

I really like the sailing in AO and it’s done really well but the islands are too small and even ravenna doesn’t feel super satisfying to traverse (it’s that mountain in the middle that’s killing it for me). I’d like to see some larger scale islands in the future seas since the small islands just don’t deliver that exploration feel as the old WoM map.

Asides that, almost all of AO is a significant improvement on WoM. Also mino and exiled felt better to fight in co-op compared to AO bosses.

Silent tower was way cooler

Same opinion here, AO is an improvement on all fronts except the map.

It just felt more grand and mysterious than scattered islands.

Liked the WOM map but traveling sucked especially since we had no dashing and running took up stamina

WOM REBORN!!! WE NEED IT REVAMP TO STORY!!!

Make so that you can pick being a hero or villian at the start by chatting to a Hero while having +300 rep or become a Villian by chatting to a Villian while having -300

WoM map was one of those things that AO could never really replicate and improve on ngl.

also silent tower was the goat

fort virginhold is kinda mid ngl

Wdym summer hold was the best part. Dare I say better than Ravenna.

Seriously I don’t get what people see in Ravenna. Imo it looks like shit. Bland af. I see the style (Roman) but it just doesn’t fit in a Savannah/Grassland setting

ravenna was a bit of a letdown imo since majority of the island is this giant ugly plain rock with absolutely nothing interesting on it.

Exactly. The mountain idea was cool, it just wasn’t executed correctly

Honestly the opportunity to add like a village on the top or some kind of arena was so wasted it sucks

Or maybe have the storylines be more subtle

I liked the WoM map mainly because it was massive and I had little to no clue where anything was. The WoM map felt grand and gigantic half the time (probably because of the YEARS it took to get around). As a person who got the Bronze Sea Explorer title pretty early in AO, I definitely feel like WoM had a better map, however AO has cooler ways to travel.

if WoM was ever properly executed, the idea of arcanium carriages / trains or railway transport would be so cool

Would love the story tbh

imagine a lightning/thunder train though that would be so fucking cool

ikr

You know I wonder if I should add magic trains in my modern/magical world thing I made separate from AO

idk why but all the big islands in ao are mountains
ig its realistic since big islands irl are made from volcanoes or mountains but its sad that i cant see most of the island
if mount othrys was at sea level it would be the best island

WoM, AO map is cool and stuff but the island are so small, i liked the WoM map bc u just had space
