Ie: We are working on it! But we need a map for each island so it complicates things a bit.

Excellent. I fully appreciate that MS is a challenge to map out, which is precisely why it should be done. Cool, as they say, beans.

I started the travel map idea but the problem is the off isle islands, i suppose the only way to do it is to have a focus on just the main bodies of land... maybe this is where i went wrong.

I too started to lay out mini-map grabs in AT arrangement but I don't have access to all areas - some areas are no-go IC anyway (Skaug) - so quickly gave up. Taking into account that MS has a very confusing AT network that is meant to represent, in some cases, a week's travel time or more, the MS server map can't be as contiguous as the BG one. Perhaps treat every physical isle as a server map in its own right and then show the links between those mini-map clusters in a more high-level 'All Islands' map.

I like this idea. If you can get us started with the areas you do have access to that would be awesome.

Alrighty then. Couldn't find my old map so had a run round today and put together the Gwynneth Isle mini-map cluster...

Sadly a number of the areas don't match up to the cardinal compass points properly so they had to be rotated. Maps rotated are marked with a white asterisk in the top right corner.

I wasn't going to do the other isles, but you get the general idea: make mini-map clusters like ^that one and just include where the 'exit' points are that lead to the other isles.

Oh yes, forgot about that one on account of it being virtually INVISIBLE for all intents and purposes.
