Out of all the "borrowed" World Tour areas that KMS has done a good job mainstreaning, I'd say that only Kerning Square and Golden Temple have done a good job, in terms of making sense where they're located, worthy quests/experience, etc.
Other than that, I'm still unsatisfied with many areas. Neo City has gone through a few revamps, but they're all boring. Why not scrap Neo City, which doesn't make sense at all, and give us Neo Tokyo at Zipangu? I also dislike the loss of Kaede Castle for the new Sakura Castle Book thingy. Instead of building into a big area like Zipangu, they take away content and add it in a way that doesn't make freaking sense.
Unwelcome Visitor event was cool as pineapple, all it needed was some tweaks to bring it back as an event, or a permanent PQ/Area. Old GMS Masteria was also cool as pineapple, the city, the forest, the maps, fell down a map? GO BACK MOTHERpineappleER! That all was fun, all it needed was a tweak for today's game difficulty standards.
Instead of that, they bastardized Masteria, bastardized Unwelcome Visitor, and mashed them together into a glitchy, poorly scripted, badly written area, which was always full of hackers due to the broken alien experience, and since now that's gone, it's dead as a tomb now, all remains is the crappy content. Nebulites were totally random, and Nexon had no idea what to do with them. They dropped like candy and then almost disappeared from the game.
While I'm ranting at it, it's nice that Henesys and its surrounding maps finally got a well deserved makeover, but now that we even have widescreen resolutions, why are most town maps still the horrible cluttered versions that we got at Big Bang? There should be more places to hang out and admire the scenario, now everything is cluttered by NPCs, which causes lag and looks awful. Decide if "World Tour" areas are part of the Maple World, or alternate dimensions like Zipangu and Singapore, and it that's the case, just add another dimensional portal in Six Path Crossroad, which leads to Asia: Zipangu, Kaede Castle, Momojijgdkmkkicockz, Showa, Neo Tokyo, CBD, Boat Quay Town, Ulu City, etc...
Back on topic, Nexon Korea should just decide for a version of things and stick to it, and work for an awesome area for all versions.
Either Masteria is in Ossyria, or somewhere near Kerning. Not both.
