If you click on the profiles of the developers, it seems that most of them have their "last seen in" on a subway system.
Thoughts? Personally I think it's much needed, as travelling around the world now is a bit cumbersome, and it only keeps expanding. Also, I can't wait to see the new area.
(Apologies to the devs if it was supposed to be a surprise, but really, you could do a better job of hiding it that that!)
