Neutral Areas

darkspyro92_ESO

The future addition of the Justice System, combined with the only way we can talk to friends in another faction being Cyrodiil in a bloody brawl, and how there is a lot of open area of Tamriel on the map, I've come to one conclusion:

Why not making these blanked out areas neutral? No faction controls them, and factions fighting amongst each other within the borders would be treasonous to the people of Tamriel. This way we can meet up with friends and others from different factions without having to kill each other. That and we can have some quests there that we can work together to complete. Since they are at the median between factions (with Cyro in the center), we could also have an island where all factions could go to to have large discussions or meetings. It would have to be a large island with multiple instances. We would also make it so entering another faction's area can not be done unless you are entering as a Vet in a Vet area. Otherwise, no-go. It would just be a meetup area for friends. Quests would also be abundant.

While this idea sounds rather stupid, it could work in the favor of new friends.

Well I can give you a number of reasons why we don't have this:
- sh*t talking
- if they're on your friends list you can already talk to them
- voip software such as Team Speak
- purple faction (even though it's too late)
- if everybody thought they needed to swap to one particular faction to be with their new bestie, eventually you're going to have 1 faction
- the blanked out areas are potential pvp zone expansion and I won't let you take that from me

I'm more of a PvE player.

Well if there were a way to merge the comments, I'd have that done. Yours has more comments and more thought out. Let's just redirect everyone here to there I guess.

Actually, that's not a bad idea, but I'm still hoping for the blank areas to be filled with content someday :-)

It's just like the bits you've already seen.

I seem to remember books in Oblivion and Skyrim (and Morrowind I'll presume) saying that for the most part the black marsh is unnavigatable, constantly shifting, so people get lost too easily. Only the Argonians can find their way, or maybe they don't and just go to whatever village they can find.

Sounds like fun.
