We're currently testing out a zoom function in the game, and for the heck of it we made it available to anyone who feels curious…for a little while at least. Be aware, this isn't destined to be permanently available; its future lies in some other super cool thing we're working on for later on down the road.
How does this work? If you're game to mess around, try typing "/zoom 0.8" in Local Chat. That will take you out to 80% of the normal/default zoom level. Similarly, "/zoom 0.6" will zoom even further out and "/zoom 1.2" will zoom in closer than the default.
You can use any number between 0.1 and 2.0, but it will look best in the 0.7 to 1.0 range ... anything bigger than 1.0 will be a bit blurry and, though 0.4 is kind of fun, it can look very strange too. :) If you just want to get back to normal, your "there's no place like home" command will be "/zoom 1".
Finally, be careful how you type in the commands as you're playing around—it won't show up as a message to other players if you use the tips above, but you may end up spamming people with nonsense if it comes out wrong.
So go play god for a day, and have fun!
