I dont want to repeat myself too much, but heres something I posted in the "Disappointed by Location" thread:
"If they did make large areas of snow and mountain top, but made the snow progressively deeper and walking through it progressively harder (while giving greater and greater stat penalties for activities done there) then they can effectively cordon off areas of the map for higher level players.
Imagine trudging up the side of a mountain, your vision slowly disappearing to the blizzards of snow, only able to see a few feet ahead of you and only able to progress at an extremely slow pace because of the deep snow when suddenly a mountain monster jumps out at you and all you can do is casually swing your sword for all the effort in the world. You would be terrified of that area, but would be constantly thinking about it (what is there, what am I missing out on). 20 levels later you think maybe you can bare it again, maybe you’re ready. You walk up the mountain again slowing almost every yard for the deep snow. But when you get there, find a temple and some amazing loot and an awesome book that tells of the ancient cult that once worshiped here and of the forgotten history of the area. That would be satisfying beyond words.
lol, I think I'm getting carried away, I doubt they will implement something like that. Oh well, one can dream :biggrin: "
