Well, it seems like they are trying to develop a meta-game which is good. My problem with it is how does the general populous know about how it works? Not everyone will read what was posted above. For this reason I don't see how this will help empire hopping, because people who don't know about the WDS won't care and hop anyways.

Another concern is that they are developing the WDS around induvidual/disconnected continents. Does that mean if they get all this stuff for WDS working that we are less likely to see the inter-continent lattice with continent locking in the future? Or will they redesign the WDS when the devs get to implementing that?
