The maddening mystery of the missing map of Midkemia :)

(I was faintly proud of all that alliteration :D)

Hi, I was trying to start a game on Midkemia but it doesn't appear on my list of options. I can see it as an option when searching to join other people's games but I can't create such a game!

What's wrong?

Does this mean all the names of the cities are going to be modified as well... I must say that the more that I remember about some of Feists actions the more I feel he's being a deuche...

IE: No you can't make a MUD because someone else is making a MUSH and I plan on sometime someday in the future making a MMORPG out of my IP.

I'll still buy his books because they are amazingly well written but it sucks that he's such a hard*** about not using the maps ETC.

how about we piss off another author lets make a Hogwarts map... :-))

It may not be the author. It might be the publisher.

I don't know the details though so your guess is as good as mine. I hope to see it back soon. I was really looking forward to that quench, and I missed the boat when it was finally ready for play :cry:

Well that's unfortunate. Using the map here is free publicity! Why fight against that?
