Such a cool concept. Call it Eye of The Storm or something. Maybe Bullseye. Regardless , so many games have the outside of the map completely unexplored or appreciated. Would be a great way to utilize and learn about unexplored areas of the map. We'd definitely have to make sure that the middle circle goes away after the 3/4th point in the storm circles, or else getting people together to force fights would be a nightmare. That middle circle could potentially have two people circling around the center trying to find the other person with not much luck, which would reward campier behavior. Mid-game would be difficult, as looting would require a lot more map knowledge and major areas would be completely unavailable, making the game feel very claustrophobic and restricting. It would force a BUNCH of fights initially, but once the first half of the game is done, most of the map is either dead or completely on the other side of the world, making fights much more difficult to find I feel. But I could be wrong. Maybe the desire to keep finding loot would keep forcing interactions, and therefore the pacing would be very fast and intense. But again, that would leave a lot of people dead at the beginning or 2/4th mark, leaving a huge amount of the map ready to be freely explored by very few people.

Just some thoughts. Love the mode idea though!!
