There's something I find annoying. Sad

Why the linking books in the pods are linking back to the nexus ?
The pod's books are in the museum aren't they ?
I think it would be much more logical and practical if the "link out" would bring us back in the museum. Very Happy

Just a suggestion.

There's a technical reason for this.
You see Ae'gura currently has population cap and when it's full you can't enter Ae'gura through the Nexus.
However you have personal books to the pods and if the pods link out books went to Ae'gura the population would exceed the current cap as normal linking books won't hold you back if the city is full, only the Nexus does that.

Yes, but everyone has a personal instance of the city. They could link there, to circumvent the city cap problem.

A museum link makes the most sense to me. Good idea.

Perhaps to solve issues with overpopulation, have the Museum Book link to your Instance, not the actual City (just for clarification).

It'd be confusing for some newcomers to be in the public city, then after visiting a pod link out and find everyone vanished and they're all alone. I blame the fact that there's no easy way to tell a main vs hood instance, not without knowing the few subtle features. Or one, as it were now.

I agree with it though.. give a book back, and if it really becomes confusing remove them from main city and only place them in instance, like the tablet.

Regardless, there should also be a nexus link.. maybe the nexus book where it is, and an ae'gura book on the middle level?
