To be frank, I like everything that Lemon's presented. It's fresh and original, and I can tell he put quite a bit of time and energy into working on something that's both unique and lore-friendly from a Digimon point of view. Don't get me wrong, I think a lot of what Lemon has created is truly wonderful. I just think that something like the Way Stations reduce the need to go out and explore everything else he had created. The whole concept just feels like something I would see in a video game then in an actual world, but this could just be me thinking way to much into things.

@timmer: This is a good point. My thoughts for the Way Stations were as follows, though: You can only travel to Way Station X from another Way Station if you've already used Way Station X. In other words, you'd still need to "discover" a way station in order to use it. I'm also thinking there should be a cost to use the Way Stations. Bits, perhaps? So, although it's instantaneously faster than travel by Trailmon, it's more costly.
There's also a plot-line I'm planning (which I'll covertly suggest to staff later-ish) that utilises the Verge Gates (including the Origin of Light and Dark Core), Beams, Null Space, Code Core, Dark Star and - to a smaller extent - the Way Stations. Something cataclysmic will start happening later (if I get my way), and one of the initial symptoms will be glitchy Way Stations, then spectacularly malfunctions in the Way Stations, and then the Way Stations will cease function altogether. Laaaaater they'll be fixed again, though.
@yuji: Thanks. ^^

Okay, so here's my suggestion for HOW all this comes into being: -Firstly, all of this already exists, but everything beyond the Algorithm, the main continent (with the exception of the Dark Area and the Empyrean Skies) are currently inaccessible due to an invisible "wall"/"forcefield" simply called "The Field", which marks the current edge of our game-able world. This also means we need to disregard two things, though: The Everfalls and the fact that there's a sea between Algorithm and the Dark Area (both of these are still "true", but heavily retconned, as I will explain shortly). We also have to assume that all these new location ON Algorithm HAVE EXISTED for all this time, but no one really paid attention to them because "meh". -Secondly, how all this new stuff becomes accessible is due to the DESTRUCTION of the Field, as the result of a certain someone attacking the Origin of Light, which has been sustaining the field all this time. The Origin is somewhat destabilised by this attack and the Field is removed, so opening up the areas beyond the Macro Ocean to us. -Thirdly, the destruction of the Field also resulted in the activation of the Way Stations, which is how they are suddenly all the rage. For now... And now, a note on the connection between Algorithm and the Dark Area: Presently, the Dark Area was always accessible from the main continent via sea. That is STILL possible, because of a massive waterfall cascading down from the Macro Ocean to the Dark Area (resulting in the River Styx, which in turn leads to the Sea of Blood) through a massive hole in the Overworld. This waterfall replaces what is presently the Everfalls location.

I still think a reboot of the digital world caused by the attack would work out much better

This idea sounds pretty interesting. I would back it, if the majority of the site is behind it.

-takes cookie- ^^
I'm gonna go add descriptions to the areas and locations listed in that massive post on Page 2, and attempt to add a poll to the OP.
