That's not really it. WTE is when the premise of a show involves travelling constantly. This is basically a relative of the Hub Level trope.

Do we have a trope for when a game starts in one Hub Level, then has the player "upgrade" to another as the plot progresses (for example, in Borderlands you start in Fyrestone, then move on to New Haven, which is larger and has more quest-giving NP Cs, as well as a few smaller outposts which only have one NPC each but have a "bounty board" and vendors)?
