So in other words, it was not retconned, but instead the debate still ravages on? I seemed to like the discussion in the past about different parties taking different directions. Because it makes less sense to erase the deep wealth of lore related to the corridorlands.
I also heard folks talk about not worrying about the mountains covering the whole planet theory, and instead discovering oceans later. Like earth, in early time, there could have been theories of an all land planet, but got revised later. The old world and new world could still be connected by land, while there could also be great oceans surrounding all this. This mixed theory makes more sense then erasing months worth (decades worth) of real experienced and lived history, lore, image albums etc, to fit a few preferences. In otherwords, both can be right at the same time.
I'm only strong on this topic because I, like many others, lived and experienced tonnes of lore related to the corridorlands. To erase it with a keystroke seemed like a strange precedent to set. Plus, concordia! We all experienced that together.
Glad to see the discussion fleshed out though! Thanks Atryl for your perspective, and sorry that I am defending those memories so strongly
