With those load-level markers in the right places, (like around a bend in a pathway) you could easily blend levels together to create an incredibly expansive world, even if there are obvious loading points in-between.

If they make the loading points like the Half-Life series and Portal (ie: When you hit a level change you just get a small text box saying "loading") then it's appear to all be a single level.

This is something I love about Half-Life. It has no big flashy cut scenes or anything, it just appears to be one continuous level. If they did the same for this game there could be some awesome results.

Seamless streaming would be better, at least for any continuous areas. We've seen it in dozens of other games, many restricted by the tech of consoles.

A question... Maybe those buttons will "limit" the sandbox game mode or something like?

I dont know, but will be more funny explore all the world than "teleport" to another one... I like explore, is funny, more than use teleports (leave this for SL or something like... I hope do not make a button for clear the lag =P).

Whatever keep the work, the idea of the area text is something very cool, and maybe will mix with sound or music like "beware, wolfs are very close" or "there is a weird silence, be careful plush bunny"... and epic end of this video. x3
