While there is reason for things to be spread out on the overworld (travel counting as some sort of quest element) it is dumb to expect several towns being populated when each one would divine the playercount among itself and another. If there were 5 towns, you'd be lucky to have 5 players at each.

The overworld could do with a huge shrink considering almost none of the excess space is used. Babord is currently worthless, Avalon is worthless, Nimda Island, etc.

Primary focus should be making Graal City not suck (and actually making it more like a castle village).
A more linear layout would make traveling grand-- like taking into consideration what you want the player to go beside while going from one place to another.
