Lets revise it and make it more compelling. Look at what Eberron did with Stormreach being the gateway to exotic Xen'drik and do the same for Maztica. Give the Faerunian cultures a compelling reason to visit there. A maguffin that serves the same purpose that the dragonshards and lost relics do in Eberron and then integrate it closely into the core setting the same way they did with Returned Abeir being integrated tightly into core Realms by making it the homeland of the Dragonborn and even dropping one Abeir nation smack dab in the middle of Faerun (though that was a bit of a kludgy approach).Paizo is taking this approach with Golarion to much success. Make a big world full of exciting places to visit, and then churn out sourcebooks and adventure paths that give the players a reason to vist all these exotic places and facilitates the DM in taking them there. The more that players and DMs want to go to these places, the more books and adventures they sell, and more books and adventures in turn fuels the desire of players to go there and DMs to run it. Its a great model. The key is integration. Make it one dynamic, interconnected, and living world.</blockquote>
