    Here's some early shots of our progress on Upper Tears. Upper Tears is a Tier 4 zone in the north of Novia. The Tears is a prominent river in that region. Recently, massive floodwaters rushed down a tributary canyon and broke the damn holding the river water back above a norgardian village, and submerged most of the settlement. Waters have since receded but the destruction is almost total.

    I know time is limited and you guys are all very busy, but just going to throw this out there...

    This "flooding" event would have been a perfect opportunity for another of those temporary scenes like you did for Tenebris Harbor.

    Could have a limited time version (or a once per person version, like the tutorial starter zones) where we see the dam break and the damage being done.

    Then, the next version can show higher river levels and the aftermath of the destruction caused.

    Just saying, that would have been cool!

    That said, I like the image this scene revamp is providing.

    Damn, now that is a place for a compassion themed quest line if I've seen one.
