I'd intended to write about the arrival of the dreaded lockbox into The Elder Scrolls Online but having already written about them in the past, I wanted to turn my attention to MMO worlds and more specifically, zones and the "busyness" of them.

A way for fans to feel like they were deeply invested in a company and their games, not just their games.
