In case you weren't already aware, alternate dimension Alvis Forest and Gray Desert will soon be deleted.
I look forward to how they now implement territory wars and harvesting/fishing nodes.

I would not have noticed this if you hadn't pointed it out to me. I guess I can see why they are removing AD, and I'm fine with it being gone...with one exception. If you remove AD then a lot of materials would disappear from the game. You should move material sources (plum trees, platinum ore, gold ore, rhodium ore, etc) to the Aerial Islands.
Quit RODE as of 11 June 2012. Anyone who wishes to contact me may do so at angelsofeternity.net. Skyfire and character have been deleted.

Why are they deleting them?

AD being broken apart is a good idea. All the mining nodes need to be moved first before the areas get deleted though.

I see this as the death of open world pvp....think about it.Where before you could port to opposing factions AD, roam around and possibly find a fair 1v1 fight, now, everyone is being clustered onto these small islets.You already cant get credit for progression because you cant get a mob, and how are you supposed to "1v1" someone when you have 20 people clumped on 1 small island.This is really going to take alot of fun out of game having to be in a flying gank squad to go AE 15 people on some ****** island.Thanks for removing the option to pvp when I feel like it.

I rarely saw any PvP in AD tbh, so that's not the problem. If they were to increase the size of these islands, increase the amount of mobs on them, and move the mats from AD to these islands, it would all be fine.

I ganked quite a bit in gray desert AD. However, yeah, it was nice having a place I could always go to to pvp. Waiting around for specific windows would be lame, I'd hope they would open the gates completely.

Or they could make it to where you didn't have to teleport, and you could just travel over to the other nation. That might be a lot of flying though...

I used to pvp in AD, and I was working on opposing factions AD quests as well....To those that think breaking apart AD was a good idea, obviously you haven't done, or don't care about gear from quests.Good luck finding a secluded little area to get some progression in enemy territory now. You'll be elbow to elbow with 15 enemies already jockeying for mobs.
And here's another little tidbit to chew on.How about even getting TO enemy AD now?I guess no more going to friendly teleport person and popping over at your leisure.Since "AD" isnt an actual dimension of it's own anymore and is in normal space, you now have to wait for the gate to open.They should have at least put the islands in their own superzone but I guess they were too lazy. -

It wasn't about being lazy, if you read the announcement you would see that they wanted to centralize people in two zones instead of four, so giving the islands their own zone would defeat that purpose.
They said they needed people to be centralized more for this Faction Wars they are making, which just might fulfill everything you're complaining about losing. So why don't you wait and see what's coming up before grumbling about what we've lost?

SUMIOH is right. There is gear not available in your home nation: pauldron and boots can only be obtained on azurian side while gloves and helmet is on the firean side. Having to jump through the gate at a certain time in order to do these quests would be lame.
However, since prison and ssd, 40+ gear is easier obtained, so maybe the need for the quests has diminished.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

What? You still can get AD gear, you'll just get it on the islands now. Same quests and everything. AD is still open and will probably be open for quite a bit longer as well.

Is there somewhere you can go to get a full explanation of AD/island quests and how to attain the trophy's/rewards? I've completed a few of the AD quest and my bar barely moved at all. Looks as though you would have to run through the entire quest 20-30 times just to get to the 1st trophy, which is a return stone!! Hardly seems worth it to me!

You progress the bar simply be killing the monsters the zone wants. Some zones progress faster than others. It does take quite a few run throughs, especially if you're only doing the first 1-2 ranks that don't involve bosses.
It shouldn't take 20 to get to the first trophy of return stone.

As far as AD being deleting though, it would be nice if islands were slightly bigger and contained more mobs. Some island's, the mobs feel pretty scarce.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
