Thanks to MOP reader Agemyth’s suggestion way back in 2016, we’ve been debating the best new zone added to an MMO for the last couple of years. And now we’re back around again!
I love this topic because new zones are one of the things that really gets me interested in MMOs and new content in old MMOs especially. I like map exploration and new horizons! I think my personal nom this year would go to Guild Wars 2’s Grothmar Valley, added at the start of the new “saga” seasonal thingymabob. In spite of being a dieselpunkish Charr zone, it’s actually got so much of that autumnal old-school Ascalon vibe going for it, plus I adore that the map has a ton of non-traditional content to play around with.
What would you say was the best new zone added to an MMO in 2019?
