| Post subject: | [Website] Citymap: Northern Wastes |
We're about 75% complete on the map for the starting area, Grotto of the Doomed (refer to the image here). An example of what we're aiming for is Taslamar's Collegium map (which also needs updating). We also need a map made for Kol's Moot itself and again an example would be Taslamar's Exile map. Anyone is welcome to finish it off the Grotto and also make the city map, using the existing map imagery as a guide. I have the original font file so I'll clean up any required text so don't worry about matching that, but please do stick to the PNG format for a pristine, loss-less image. If you have any updates to post, please either reply here, PM myself or email me using the WIZLIST command in-game. Contributors get the warm fuzzy feeling of knowing they helped the game. Thanks in advance to those who help out. [edit: updated link to point to draft image #2] |

SW-most room with down exit should be coloured and labelled as 'Exit to Moraksdal' |

I don't think I can make you a map. Peso knows the area extremely well. I found the area (and still do) fairly confusing, but I loved the newbie area (except for the lack of coin!) and if you want any feedback, I can offer that, but I can't really give you a specific map BECAUSE the area's so confusing. I just felt bad because no one responded.

No offense to whoever did this, but I really, really dislike this newbie school. The only clothing sold anywhere(that I found) is cloth(kinda useless to everyone except sorc/necro) and if you don't pay attention to details(there's a weapon rack with some crappy weapons, it doesn't even have the most basic weapon, some sort of sword) you will be stuck with the crappy practice dagger the whole time. And, honestly, there aren't very many NPCs either...And new ones seem to spawn pretty slowly. Also, since the Wastes are soooooooo far away from everything else, I think they need a nearby area for like novice~~ and there should be a NPC that tells you to go there, somewhere in the newbie school. |

*sigh* Never mind, I'll take a stab at it this weekend and just colour it according to some script echoes I found in the area. Hopefully it's accurate and not a RP decoy of some kind. I'm sure I can bump into some of the other NPCs that need to be highlighted, so ...only thing left is the Taslamar newbie area map. Anyone got a basic map of it already? |

Pretty sure you would have gotten a better response had you asked someone else to make the request on the forums. You know, someone who actually commands respect and admiration, instead of just being thought an [REDACTED]. |

Why do the newbie areas have to be so dang confusing? Four flipping levels? That's slightly interesting for vets who are re-rolling characters, but new players (especially players who don't play a lot of muds) are going to end up confused more easily. Getting lost in a newbie area (Especially with the horrible PE of lower levels) is no fun at all. |

The newbie area you need to explore is just 2 levels anyway. 1 with some trainers, 1 with the rest of the trainers and the NPCs in the cells. The rest is bonus, and this area owns. The quest owns, everything. I don't have time to map it, else I could have done it. |
