Any thoughts on this suggestion? |
This wont happen. To be honest, most of the maps on gry-online are wrong and/or outdated from being drawn before the public release of the game, the webmaster himself used this as an argument when pushing us away from using his maps.
The whole approach of gry-online, is a web based mapping system, while this is not the case for us. The purpose of the MAP website, is to provide a database that is interactive with the users so they can input POI's into their own game, and everyone else's without having to use the interface editor or edit xml at all.
The maps that are shown ON the website are just a little added bonus since we have all the information on the site anyway.
So in conclusion, it is not just the unwillingness of the site owners to cooperate, its also that our site is providing a much more useful purpose for everyone in EQ2.
