Yes. This area is not open to the public and therefore should not be entered.

can i ask why? like looking at the videos on youtube... theres nothing down there anyway? And also.. what is the point of it in the first place?


Because certain areas of the game are not open to the public at this time. Perhaps at a future date something may be introduced but right now the developers are not utilizing the area.

Also as Lissanna stated it requires exploitive means to get there.

Q u o t e:
If the developers were really that intent on not having anyone go there then they would code the data out, I don't see anything cheating or wrong with going there. It is nothing like an abandoned building irl, you can't physically remove those like you can with code.


If the developers were really that intent on not having anyone go there then they would code the data so there wasn't an easy way to get there. O.o

Seriously though there are some areas that are part of the scenic terrain you know for flight paths. :) Some are for the Development Team to add content at a later date. If you plan on adding something later it is easier to simply put a place holder at the time, that can be seen as a mark of things to come; it makes very little sense in regard to lore for an area to simply pop out of the ground.

As much as I like to see old posts and reminisce I think this one is a tad overdone.
