Thanks for the encouragement and feedback!

@doug68: I'll see what I can do. There's so many images (a set for each of the 6 theme color schemes) so it's not something I'm too excited about though ;)

@xenofur: I took screenshots of the AD map and definitely want to add that. Not sure if I'll try to integrate it into the world map or just make it separate like the city maps. Same goes for the starting islands.

@acridiel: I don't have a banner but I'll pester Soma and see what she can come up with.

Edit: @gillest: I forgot to say thanks for pointing out the missing info. We'll try to get out to that tribe and add them. We like to go out ourselves, not out of lack of trust, just so we can accurately position them on the map.

just in case: you know that you can set map markers, compass them and then teleport to somewhere else and still have them in compass? :)

Nice idea but it wouldn't work, if you've ever tried targetting a landmark in a different region than the one you're in, you'll see it's not in the direction the world map would have you believe. Fyros lands are southeast of Matis lands instead of west, Zorai lands are east instead of southwest, and so on.

But great work Oshido, this makes it a lot easier to find what you're looking for. Makes me want to go out again and collect more information for you to put on there ;)

Already on it ;)
If you'll forgive my sloppy copy and paste, some quick measurements would suggest the real world looks something like this.
