    Amazing job, right on par with your Ardoris map. If you don't mind me asking, what is your background? I ask, because I'm an architectural draftsman by education (alas, not by trade, though), so I have a special appreciation for the amount of work you're putting into these maps.

    I'm pretty sure that he is using a map building software...looks familiar.

    Photoshop? These appear to be just layers on top of the existing in-game map?

    you're gonna scare him off for fear of copywrite infringement or using misuse of editor software or something. Keep it down. He's doin good, leave it at that. :)

    Prepress/Pre-media. Basically, I put together a fashion magazine.

    If there are such programs it's best I don't know about it. I'd likely pull down the blinds and not be seen for a week. Hmmmm, mappy porn.

    Spot on. It's all Photoshop. Just retouched versions of the maps released. Icons are from screenshots.

    It's all above board - even the fonts are Creative Commons. That's important because it means that in the future, anyone with Photoshop can legally change the map without having to buy/steal fonts.

    I meant nothing by it....just thought it looked familiar and if you didn't know about this program then now you do.

    That's beautiful Birko. Are you doing anything with the maps or are they for personal use? I would love to have maps like these for the game:)

    Very beautiful.

    But Peddler's Row is west of the Craft Pavillion, not south of Town Hall.

    I've got to say, this is AWESOME! I feel sometimes I find too little information about the game and this is just fabulous. I was not able to enter any town until r14, so your ardoris map has been awesome, and it is nice to see this in in such a classy way.. kudos sir!
