There you go.. just some treasure I found. I share.

So...

Clear Skies, Sunny with a high of 102 in Flaming Skull.

Sanguine is Partly Cloudy and a 40% chance of rain in Ymir Tear.

It's the in-game map, looks pretty cool.

The map is excellent.

I see at the northernmost  part an area in the sea named Serpent's Hollow; Runequest anyone?

Nice. I had not seen that one before.

I wonder if some people dont understand why there is a "weather map" included?

Agreed the map is nice, guess well see about the game in another month or so though.

To trick us into believeing weather will be a major point in the game, as in Dark&Light?

Saw this posted at another site earlier, looks amazing.
Looks like it has some kind of in-game weather forecast too, very interesting. I think the world is going to be as good as it sounds. :)

Thats an awsome map. Thx for sharing.

Seems weather will be important.

If this is really the map it's pretty sad..

There's hardly nothing on it

Its a leaked map from a beta tester it was posted on a beta leak site.

link?

The emptiness doen't bother me much. The players will be filling in the blanks. What surprises me is the jarring translations between tiles. It looks like there's going to be a distinctive border to each area

What happened to the hundreds of dungeons?

This map only shows the racial main cities and the 3 starting areas around them. Thats all rest of the locations are hidden or maybe revealed when you zoom in I believe..

Revealing dungeon locations etc would spoil it anyway..

my only question is....what the hell is that huge black mass in the middle of the map? some kinda huge sea?

Telon ? ?OOH no Argon sorry

Compared to what? A emty WoW world map?

We can only thee see the main citys and the spwan points for each race. Everything else is not shown. And DF is about competition, who will find what. Thats why its not on a map : )

The big black thing in the middle is a huge vulcano (i have read somewhere). Have to try and find it again. Not sure if it was correct.

nice map! world looks biiig!

did you see the grid?

i watched again the Athenes presentaon video, and i notice that, roughly..form Flaming skull to New Flayed Elf its something like 5 min riding.

Flaming skull - Charibis trip on horce shold be around 110 min

From most north-east point of Yassam to most south-west of Rubaiyat - 4 hours

but my math skills are not so good, so i apologies if i am talking rubbish here

"The squares are like that in reality and noticeable in the ingame map. Its obvious that they built the world in tiny maps and patched them together. The squares dont seem to line up with the server zones (you sometimes get a slight hiccup when crossing the 'seamless world') so I think they are just a byproduct of how they initially constructed the world.

When I first saw this high rez map a few weeks ago without playing the game I feared that it would be very noticable when you moved from square to square. However upon testing it, the world is so huge that it doesn't register that way at all unless you have the map open and know that you are crossing a boundary.

One thing I was struck by is that even though the graphics are not the best, is that there is a ton of cool stuff strew about the landscape and it never feels generic. Each ruin, abandoned village, outpost has the feel of alot of time and handcrafting put into it. The problem was that out of all these cool places, not many seem populated with critters or npcs."

That kinda clears things up.

I really hope we're mistaken about the "weather broadcast" on the map... Seems kinda silly if u could see weather on a map in any kind of "realistic" game. Strange that noone has labeled it carebear already

Following that logic you could question your knowledge about the Map too ...why having a pre drawn map ? everyone should draw "his" map  himself .. continuing that you could end up on something like  Roma Victor lol

Thats becouse its a sandbox, most of the land is flat and ready to be shapened!

You see one square on this map?  It is 15 to 20 minutes to cross only one squarre, and there are overall 800 squares.

Just amazing map, great work.

Are u serious? Why wouldnt the map be drawn after u have explored the area, u think theres something weird with that?

You could even buy the map from someone, nothing strange with that. Buying/drawing a map with stuffs on like terrain and vegetation is strange compared to having a map that shows the weather of the area..? Mountains doesnt move very fast u know... clouds move a bit faster... sigh
