I saw this post, read through, it, moved on, and read through it again.
My own opinions on G6 aren't really anything I find worth sharing or ground-shattering, but I think in hindsight it's funny how much people (including me!) disliked private housing for people hiding in their own private spaces, when there's a significant amount of that as is in Korvara.
Sure, Geladyne or Meiaquar R&D aren't truly 'private', but you really don't have a way to walk in unless you're being antagonistic or do something to stir a buncha noise. The meta-cost of engaging in these spaces requires so much time, investment, and soft power that really all we've done is limit these private spaces to those with significant power.
Geladyne itself is often considered pretty isolated in terms of public RP. The inn isn't really used much except for events and a few people, there are some in the streets from time to time, and the war honestly provided a lot of good RP with people otherwise tucked away.
Duyuei and Meiaquar have that to a fair degree as well.
Telegrad has it the least of the public nations, but the Guard House and Rider HQ are pretty 'locked up' RP-wise if someone opts to move things to the top floor.
There are some other places as well, but in all of those, if you want RP with people in those areas, you still need to ping/LFG, basically. Very little has changed there since G6.
Is it inherently a bad thing? No. I actually quite like Korvara. I do find it funny though.
