RuneScape Map [Abandoned]

PimpCaneYoAss · Post by **PimpCaneYoAss** » Sun Mar 18, 2007 5:15 pm

Well here it is. I took the idea...not the map...and worked with it in Fireworks. There are & continents as listed in the legend. I included a new idea where certain territories are "ports." Ports that are the same color can attack each other. Please post here with advice, criticism, or any other helpful comments. Thanks.

Continents - 7
Countries - 49

LATEST VERSION

ORIGINAL

copyright is your first issue, you'd have to either change the names of contries and the title (runscope? landscape of runes...?)

or get permission to use the names from someone at runescape.

I thought about that but then what about Tamriel (Elder Scrolls). I think using my own drawing should be enough.

They over came copyright issues.

Andy made them an offer they couldn't refuse.

You can do it for this map, but first you need a horse's head...

I'll have to check with Jagex about the copyright issues. If it is a problem then gg.

PimpCaneYoAss · Post by **PimpCaneYoAss** » Sun Mar 18, 2007 8:23 pm

I sent an email to Jagex Ltd. (Owners of RuneScape) asking them if I could use the map. So I'm waiting on a response from them.

if copy right isn't an isue then by all means do it. I havn't played runescape in like 3 or 4 years but the map could work and alot of people play it so it will have plenty of support. by all means try but in the past if copy right dosn't work then the map dosn't get made. there is not one map to my knowledge on the site that has bean renamed to avoid this that I know of. good luck

I really don't like the map as it is right now, but I can't place a specific reason. Maybe it is horrific memories of the actual game and its brain numbing trade skill system. :lol:

Some of the territory names aren't readable. Start with that.

I think that karmaja has WAY too may territorries to be only worth 4.

The territories in Feldip Hills are a little hard to read and the same goes for Misthalin. I'll try to change the color and make them larger.

Only three points of entry though. I think 5 would be a little to much with that in mind. I'm playtesting this map on paper too. This should help with more fixes.

PimpCaneYoAss · Post by **PimpCaneYoAss** » Mon Mar 19, 2007 3:57 pm

I took that part out. Sorry if you wanted that.

Me too. That game really sucked. It was good for (and i timed this one): 3 minutes and 43.26 seconds. Give or take 1 second. :lol:

Even if you do get a greenlight from the various entities, I'm not sure this map even has appeal. Right now, it doesn't to me.

I feel the map is way to "boxy". It does not flow. Does the map need to be this way? I have never played Runescape so I do not know what the map looks like. Could you take the idea from the game and morph the map into a better, more organic looking map (Middle Earth, Tamriel)?
