Basically:

- New map is great. Looks cool (especially from a distance, nothing different
when actually walking around.)
- Arelium has same stuff as Batcity had.
- Game is still same as it was. Grind, grind and grind the same areas as
before.

Practically:

- Playing is a pain in the ass. Moving around is too difficult and annoying.
Also the continents seem too large without any reason for the size.
- Arelium is too big. Again looks nice when looking whole map, but sucks when
actually walking around.
- More and more is moved away from the "playing", meaning doing the actual
areas (the real content of the game). And more is added to the auxiliary part
of the game (like moving around). I really hope that there is something deeper
behind this tune, and it isn't just remake of the landscape.

In my opinion, something has changed in the Bat policy and we have seen more
and more attempt to make this game more "realistic" (which is bound to fail,
since this is a text based fantasy game after all). It seems that it's going
too far at some points, and added realism is making things harder and worse
without any real positive effects.

We are also seeing more and more RL arguments on e.g. news posts. It seems
that every suggestion can be either shot down or backed up with some RL
references, and most of the time it just looks plain stupid and in general
there is no real logic. This game is full of unreal elements, and if RL would
really be a reference, this game would need serious tuning and it would
probably fail completely.

I agree that this change must have been a major effort and I respect that, but
it doesn't mean it's automatically great. I hope to see further improvements
to make this game more playable and above all FUN for everyone.
