Though I enjoy the open world format and the possibility of the actions of characters having an impact on different people in different parts of the world, I realised, maybe, that I made a mistake when making this particular setting a free-roam one.

I had a thought yesterday evening which could improve the general experience for everyone, but feel that you the players should get to decide what happens, so we'll put it to vote!

I'm thinking maybe I split the thread into separate ones, each dealing with an individual/close-knit party in a single location to offer each a more focused narrative in an effort to improve the narrative experience for everyone involved. RP would take place at different times and though I might allow for the impacts of characters in different places to effect the world at large the downside is that player characters from different narrative stories wouldn't be able to meet or interact with one another.

I'm good with either path, really. You're doing a fantastic job guiding the various areas and NPC's, but I can imagine it's time consuming and takes a lot of creative effort and energy. So, whatever you decide is FINE with me :)
