Posted January 16, 2019 For all you archaeologists, veterans and nostalgics: I dug into my old files and records and found some old community maps. Deliverance was born more than 7 years ago, on the 7th September 2011. The maps I uncovered nicely show the evolution of our lovely island over the years. Have fun! September 2011: Spoiler November 2011: Spoiler May 2012: Spoiler December 2012: Spoiler June 2013: Spoiler December 2013: Spoiler July 2014: Spoiler June 2015: Spoiler June 2016: Spoiler April 2017: Spoiler February 2019: Spoiler (Unfortunately I could not find a map dated 2018. Maybe one of you can help.) 24 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you look at the previous posts in this thread you'll see that I coudn't find a map for 2016 in my records. Nicrolis was able to help out and provided the "June 2016" version. Hence the acknowledgement (It has nothing to do with previous map authors or map managers, who deserve our thanks nonetheless!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 19, 2019 When cleaning up my desk today I found a real gem! I thought the oldest Deli map we have is from November 2011 - BUT I found a paper copy of the very first map made by Darkmalice, probably in late September 2011. Please note how inaccurate the coastlines were and how small the number of deeds was in those first days! Here it is: 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 21, 2019 I like how there is an ad for someone buying referrals on that map. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There she be south of Green Dog with my nearest neighbor east, New Darkhold by Validate a week or so later. Some more were created on the north side of Green Dog too around this time and I see the north shore with none listed that were created on server opening by those who sailed over. A pretty crude map yes but a valiant effort to travel all around the coast to get an impression of the newest unknown lands created within the game after Independence. A fun and exciting time to be around to see the server develop from those untouched landscapes, with many areas filled with trees to squeeze through to travel slowly to points beyond. =Ayes= 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vulcan Retreat used to be called New Ultimarus, years later i renamed Indigus (my deed, around the corner), to Trinsic. how canny Not entirely sure why i chose to honour ultima when i renamed the deed, the impulse was almost fleeting. my processing was mostly spent on deciding which town to name it after.

Posted April 3, 2020 This is interesting: I found a map dump on the webs which apparently shows the "original" Deliverance. (Unfortunately it has some deeds and roads drawn on it, but otherwise it seems to be pristine - no pun intended ) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 8, 2020 I have been looking for these for ages! Time to fuel my nostalgia and get sad about all my friends that have long since stopped playing! Thanks Yaga! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(Unfortunately it has some deeds and roads drawn on it, but otherwise it seems to be pristine - no pun intended ) dont know where you got that one but its clearly a work in progress of my first deliverance template, i am the only one who saved copies of the old map dumps? anyway i have the original with no marks on it still on my dropbox. and on full size, thats why i had to use dropbox, other places didnt allow me to keep the full size.

I found a very old forum post (in another forum) with this self-made map of center/southeast Deli, dated September 16, 2011: Question about this map. Might be stupid. Why where these maps put out back in the day? Was this before even a road infrastructure was in place so a lot of people would get lost having to travel through the wild? It kind of weird to think about having to navigate a server like this without roads. Someone puts out a recommended route from point a to point b and then as people begin to travel that the route gets shorts as people find and publish shortcuts. The more the routes evolve we get the modern day infrastructure of roads we have today. Really cool to look back on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
