Passing Thought #1

"Red Zones." Not sure where this came from or if there's any merit to it. Cities can be dangerous places. You don't walk down back alleys at night, even in better parts of the city. Why? Because the risk of danger is higher. I wonder if the various zones of Paragon City couldn't be broken down a little more for added realism. Most of the city's zones have those "bad areas" like alleys, abandoned lots, etc. Maybe these small areas should be red zones regardless of the color zone they appear in. Spawns in these areas would be much higher level than the area would normally spawn. Maybe the danger level could be synched with the arrival of "night" in Paragon City. More complicated, yes, but it might bring added realism.

[stops to look at a zone map of King's Row] Hmm. Trying to illustrate these zones on the maps might make them too cluttered. Perhaps just a general understanding/announcement that areas off the well-traveled paths of the city are more dangerous.
