Another misconception is that all Nasomi has to do is hit a button and mob levels are adjusted and everything is good to go. With that out of the way, there is no doubt unique challenges that are specific to Nasomi server that would have to be overcome in order to release those camps on Nasomi. The ToAU strongholds were some of the most dangerous zones ever created during the 75 cap era, only the most experienced adventurers could even explore those zones without dying. Players had to embark on a dangerous expedition into ToAU beastmen strongholds that were riddled with true sound/sight aggro to rescue said NPC's. If your server community failed to repel the attack, there was potentially serious penalties depending on which NPC's got captured. This is simply not true, you had to defend Al-Zahbi from besieged to keep various NPC's from being captured and the ability to get sanction, use staging points and rent chocobos could be taken away from you. I have always felt there are serious misconceptions about ToAU, some believe that you just showed up to whitegate at level 55, stepped outside of the city and got rewarded with an easy 20k/hr exp camp. This is going to inevitably cause overcamping in the limited areas we have to exp currently on Nasomi. The more I think about it, the reality is that server growth is showing no signs of slowing down, it won't be long before we're hitting 700+ online. Originally I was not going to post on this thread just because these types of threads usually just end up getting deleted or horribly derailed. I'd much rather see every BLU/COR/PUP get deleted, along with every ToAU item on the server and just lock whitegate off permanently, or de-99 things and let people go there. That said, I'm personally not a fan of the current compromise either. It'd be trivial to let people exp there, and much less effort than reworking old zones to try and encourage camps there, yet we got a boyahda rework. and honestly I wouldn't ever expect ToAU on this server, it's pretty obvious nas just doesn't like the expansion in it's entirety.

I don't think anyone expects the entirety of ToAU to be available at the push of a button, especially given that we're still missing pre-ToAU stuff. Not everything would be good to go, just the parts that most people care about. the drawbridge in bastok port and the elevator in metalworks aren't exactly what I'd call reliable, I hardly think that calls for metalworks to be flooded with level 99 mobs. There are issues with entire mob families in ToAU, I'm not going to detail which mobs but it is a much more complicated ordeal than just "adjusting the levels to retail levels."
