I worry that the legends of the seas will have no reason to go to The Forsaken Shores. As far as I can tell, there's nothing there that would progress Athena's levels, the only thing legends still need.
In my opinion, more rewarding Athena's voyages should be offered there. The higher reward would come in the form of two Chests of Legends on the last island, as opposed to one.
I feel this would have a multitude of benefits:
-
Legends would feel far more motivated to do their voyages in the new area, thus giving them a reason to explore it.
-
These voyages would more dangerous due to the perilous environment. This increased danger would help to keep Athena's voyages interesting, which, to be honest, are duller than a bilge rat's blade.

Due to the higher rewards, I feel most legends will be concentrated in the Forsaken Shores, which has two additional PvP related benefits. Firstly, legends would more often face an even match (other legends), which is way more fun and exciting than beating up on a first time player. Secondly, because most legends would be in the Forsaken Shores, new players, who wouldn't be going to the highly dangerous area, would not have to deal with getting lasagnafied by the purple and gold as often.
There is one more effect, which is both a benefit and a downside. Forsaken Shores, already the dangerous hangout for high level players, would become even more dangerous, due to the higher concentration of high level players. While this would make PvP among high level players more entertaining, it would discourage newer players from exploring the Forsaken Shores. That said the highly hazardous environment was already doing that, so the point is somewhat moot.
Thanks for reading. I really feel that this simple change would make the game far more enjoyable for those of us who are legends.
