LoA content is technically Tech but with a little magic thrown in. 
wasn't sure if to include.

I did not include the Spectre 
as I would class that as Meta. but it's mixed Meta and Tech. 
I dunno if the Spectre's meant to be magic, but since his basis is the real life Angel Raphael, so I'll say no.

I did not include Halls of Power, 
which feels to me like 
Magic content. I have no idea
what its all about. im not a fan.

Halls of Power.. is something about a guy who seems Meta or Tech, but then he's chasing a magic item of the Source to get it to talk, his backup is a bunch of people who look like they had too many disco biscuits and caused then escaped from a paintball factory explosion. The hero guys talk you like you are a piece of dirt and call themselves 'Gods' and there are insects for no apparent reason running around a small area getting killed that you have to save.. oh and there is a load of dead people attacking you called dregs that look like they escaped from Skyrim. Stop me if this gets too weird!

.. so far sounding like magic to me..

If this is what DC has up against GoTG.. flip! I had a goood and groovy time watching that movie! I understood it. this ^..nah. dont like it.

REDONE
---------------------------------------

It came to my attention, that Lantern Powers are technology based. Perhaps it's the entities who are meta. and the Guardians learned how to harness their power.



I have seen a few people say on the forums, that there has been 'enough' lantern content. Last week it struck me how much content is magic centric..

I will redo this and include  LoA and Lanterns as Tech, Spectre as Magic (which I find really offensive), and HoP as Meta, shame since it talks and feels like Magic content.

While I still feel, Halls of Power walks and talks like Magic content and Lantern content walks and talks like Meta content, it's categorized above as it is on the wiki, as Meta and Tech content, respectively. LoA content is ninja style Tech, even though Ra's al Ghul himself is Magic.

The areas for Meta are too small to be considered a 'new land'. The HoP area is appallingly small, and while I do like Central City, likewise, is it not even the size of Little Bohemia to consider it a 'city' which Gotham Wastelands is; large enough to be a new city.

Since 2012 players have been asking to expand Central City, I have been one of those players. If the Devs took Little Bohemia and used it as template for Central City, giving us the ability to have player bases, to have the CC bounties in Central City, they could use the new city to be cut-up for the later usage, which is what Central City is now, a small cut up area.

As far as New Genesis goes.. I never go in there, don't like it. It is super tiny because of the cavernous causeways and room size ceiling.. after setting the tone of Gotham and Metropolis, you could tell the Devs LOVED what they were doing, and in so much as this, I could instantly tell, they had not put the same love into New Genesis when I saw the tight ceiling size, and felt this was an evaluation of us as players, what we were worth to them. And in this, I was never going to like the content, which I initially tried to as I was unfamiliar with Darkseid et~al.

"We do not have plans to continue development on serums. 

We do have plans to continue development on water, after the stats revamp. 

Just to clarify!"
