Katalam was a fun and memorable map for very specific reasons: it gave players on both factions equal access to the contested zones, it gave players a reason to be on the fields, and it gave players PvP equipment that was easy to get…so everyone would compete on equal conditions, there were (of course) things that were badly implemented…but it was overall a fun experience, something that couldn’t be replicated on the maps that came after.
As for the current version of the game, there is no reason to be on the fields anymore, there are no valuable drops, low xp and barely any quest to do…s
