Please add Boothbay Harbor at 16X, 10Y.

Please add Lemosa Docks along the water and Lemosa Hills along the rocks on the southern side of the inlet to (Name?) Bay. Enchanted Oaks looks like it was there first, so Enchanted Bay perhaps.

Vanyar - new cords: 37x17y - as we explored the land we found that this new cords will fit better

[Fearil 200]

Hi there, can you add these to the map? Thanks!

[Darkmalice 242]

Thanks folks. Rumour has it the dump is 'soon'. Whether that is "soon next week" or "soon ala multi-storey" (i.e. years) is anyone's guess.

[EDIT]

At this point, with the dump hopefully in sight, I'd like to put forward how I plan to develop this community map.

In the past my motto was 'keep it simple, clean and editable' and it stood the test of time. At the time I was juggling as many as three maps and it was essential to make everything simplistic to allow for quick additions and edits. Now however I can focus on one and only one map, a smaller one too, and as such I want to push for a little more detail in what information can be displayed.

So, using an offical map dump is fine for a while, but it does not lend itself to alterations with the landscape, something that happens a LOT in Wurm. My intention then is to trace the dump accurately (in a proper CAD-based cartography software) with distinction between terrain types (steppe, sand, rock, etc). This landscape will be more artistic than the current map but still easy to read. Mountains, dense forests and marsh can be represented on top of this terrain layer, again easily changed as time progresses.

Which brings me to the more detailed functions. Traders, single merchants, towers and mailboxes can be displayed as before in addition to new icons for specialist player-merchants (smiths, shipwrights, horse breeders, crops); fishing spots; sermon centres; different categories of settlements (city, town, village, homestead, marketplace, festival sites; sparring arenas; obelisks (from missions); huge player pyramids; shallow reefs/bays; bridges; canals and of course highways. Obviously considerations will be made to keep the map from becoming overly cluttered, for one thing I'll be doubling the pixel-tile scale (making the map 4096 where the server is 2048).

The one drawback against viewing the original dump is of course elevation: personally I've never seen it as a disadvantage due to the way angled-elevation can block the view of some areas. However, the original will always be there for cross-referencing.

This will take a little time and effort but I hope everyone will enjoy the results.

I would definitely enjoy having access to the kind of map you envision. Currently, finding traders dealing in specific trades is rather hit-or-miss without a great deal of knowledge and familiarity with the different communities and players. Also, as someone quickly becoming involved with horse-breeding, it would be helpful, from my point of view, to have that sort of advertising of my trade(s). Of course, we can always do this on the forums, but having the information on a map, which almost everyone is likely to use, would be a great quick reference!

[Xalorum 766]

DM, you're still not a fan of naming every bay and mountain though, correct?

[Darkmalice 242]

Correct. Large islands, huge mountains, large bays and lakes. Probably that massive steppe in the south, that should do for names I think.

[Asciana 303]

You better not label our island what I think you're going to!

[Darkmalice 242]

Residents decide, not me m8
