Yeah, i saw those.
We'll do what's best for the entire team.
As for direction, when I trekked East it was just jungle, jungle, jungle. What a pain in the ass!
Haven't been north or west, but South was gorgeous. And that lagoon in among the mountains and the hideout-fort-cavern thing in the hills west of the portal? Just … WOW!
I vote for South, and think we should make home-base at roughly 15,700 around that lake. We could build an Italian-vista-style world around the lake and into the cavern with sky-bridges and houses amongst the cliffs and stuff. What a great spot. If New-Downtown isn't there, I'm claiming it!
