:::No debate over the lack of demand, I do agree and it appears even more true now that we know that the site is fairly stable/even in users over time. That said, the worldbuilding part does pose an obstacle in some ways, especially for those territories closest to the edge facing them.

Why are all the territories in the western hemisphere unavailable?--BlooXen. Thanks! (talk) 05:59, 14 February 2023 (UTC)

Presently, there is neither need nor actual mapping demand to open the "western continents" at this point. There are a ton of unclaimed and underutilized areas of our four continents now. At the risk of sounding negative, there may be a desire of some to want to open the western continents to do meta world-building, but the present rate of progress in our existing projects highlights how we already have a greater supply than demand. — Alessa (talk) 13:35, 14 February 2023 (UTC)
