Wow thats a sweet map thingy I added mine and now I can explore with a purpose.... maybe we could coordinate efforts to make the map complete like Im going to try to fill in the area right above grasslands to the east w/ water underneath all the way to the Raktam(about ten or so map blocks west of that) all the way up the line thats filled in just north of that. BTW how are we supposed to "let you know" if the map is vandalised?-- [[User:Daylan|Daylan]] 08:16, 6 March 2006 (GMT) | Wow thats a sweet map thingy I added mine and now I can explore with a purpose.... maybe we could coordinate efforts to make the map complete like Im going to try to fill in the area right above grasslands to the east w/ water underneath all the way to the Raktam(about ten or so map blocks west of that) all the way up the line thats filled in just north of that.
