question about the game
Hello,
i'm very interested in the game. i heard about this game through a few mmo youtube channels. I've been playing mmo since Ultima Online and have play others from final fantasy, doac, shadowbane, a few others and of course years on wow.
one of the main concern that i can think of in relationship to your node is:
What is going to stop each node from feeling very similar? Won't everyone eventually converge to the biggest node leaving other nodes empty? On paper it sounds great but in practice mmo player usually converge to the most advantageous. Once a node gets big enough it will start to eat up the populations of other nodes and eventually you will have only one node. Even if you have some good lore and a variety of events it will get to a point where it will not trump the need for people to find a easier way to survive and thrive in the game.

There different type of nodes!
Scientific Node , Military Node , Divine Node , Economic Node
So not all nodes will look the same!
What will keep people going somewhere else is Depending on the Node type as well how the government will be run!
The government could raise Taxes etc....
They can be a dictatorship
Theirs alot of reason perhaps the community in that node is not your type For example maybe your looking for more Social group or More role play people will split up
Gotta also think about guilds if you join a guild you are more likely going be representing a certain node because your guild hall is their!
Resources!! is another big concept about the game. Their will be certain resources you can only get at certain areas!!
I hope this helps
