Encompassing each server are carefully placed points of development called Nodes. Every node is given purview over a predefined zone of influence (ZOI)[1].

Node advancement

Player activity (questing, gathering, raiding, etc.) within this ZOI counts toward that particular Node’s advancement. There are six stages of node advancement[1]

  1. Expedition (Few hours)
  2. Encampment (Many hours)
  3. Village (Few days)
  4. Town (Many days)
  5. City (Few weeks)
  6. Metropolis (Many weeks)

After every advancement, an increasing ring of neighboring nodes are locked out from progressing to the next stage. The advancement of a node unlocks its unique content, which comes at the cost of locking out unique content available in neighboring nodes[2].
