Some might come upon giant piles of bones in MMORPGs and assume that the Evil Presence is trying to be super-intimidating, but nothing could be further from the truth. The Evil Presence is actually being hospitable and showing off its pride and joy — 424,000 bones that it managed to collect from naturally and humanely deceased adventurers.
We can’t say for certain whether or not Katriana played with the bones and made a bone fortress when she ventured into Lord of the Rings Online’s Barad Dur, but at least the option was there!

“Yes, Eulmore is a horrible, dystopian society run by an evil megalomaniac… but at least it has working showers,” posted Scott. “The fact that FFXIV takes the time to point out that your Warrior of Light is, perchance, a little stinky from months of fighting evil is a very nice touch to the game.”
Another thing that FFXIV does well is provide bright shiny nightlights for the countryside, just in case you were nervous about going out after dark.
“It’s a good use of stuff to make things look pretty,” said Hurbster.
