taking something from a group in a game is ALWAYS a bad idea, why do you think we ended up with the echo zones after they removed them from the game when they drank the freemium koolade? but since you would be risking alienating the largest group of players to do something which according to the lead dev, and co-author of the engine doesn't actually make it easier to complete a zone, it seems like a dumb idea, and if new zones are desperately needed (I don't think they are, and with the current resources you are probably looking at YEARS to get a new zone up) they would be better done as new zones matching the feel
