Fuck you.
Bet you didn't even think this game had a map.
You know it's true.
I love the concept of this map, but the inaccuracies ruin it.
>>321661497
When I was younger I used to look at that map all the time and plan out where I would go when I finally got members. When my parents finally got me members in the summer I spent so much time exploring.
>>321664684
I did the same thing.Except I never got membership. Ever. In the eight years I played from 2002 to 2010.

You can fault them for having introduced p2w aspects into their game but i'd argue that is was needed to combat the rampant goldfarming. Aside from that, they're pretty fucking succesful at turning their game around.

when I come into these map threads I always pine for the good old days of Morrowind and their ridiculous maps and locales. Why hasn't a game been able to topple morrowind in terms of world design?
>>321665914
I also like the fact that they still offer classic runescape for people who enjoy the old game. I happily pay for it.

Definitely. Jagex is an example of a company that caters way too much to their playerbase. Literally anything that the players want is provided to them. They even have their own developer team dedicated to making slice of life updates whenever they are made aware of aspects of the game that are too cumbersome.
If you don't like Jagex, it's basically saying you don't like the players (which ironically, i can fully understand because the community hasn't changed a bit over the past 15 years). For every player against something, there's another supporting it - Jagex is simply in the middle of it all trying to poll the outcome and going with whichever side gains the majority vote.

As much as i hated them for destroying the old runescape back then you are right. they care more than anyone.
>>321667327
Yes
I unashamedly love generic Tolkien ripoff maps and I don't care who knows it. I wouldn't have it any other way and I'm not even sorry about it.

ff9 world is strange.
Only 1 continent has civilisation and is densely populated. The rest is just wilderness.
>>321667804
Because they HAD to.
After EoC it was dying, and now they want people to pay for 'muh sentiment' old rs and START OVER AGAIN.
Fuck that shit.
I like Jagex, but hate how they ruined my favo(u)rite game.
>>321666841
thats pretty pathetic. Content creators should be pursuing their own vision not the vision of others, especially the masses.
>>321668105
If I recall correctly, that's because Mist was only on the one continent.
>>321668105
iirc wasn't the explanation that the lower parts of the world were covered in mist that spawned monsters? hence why all the world's towns were on mountain tops? Sea-level was probably pretty shit at that point.
>>321668105
>ipsum
Also theres explanation in the game as to why that is. Not all is wilderness either.

I was never able to get in to that shit either.
I remember my internet died for a period, my friend pretended I was dead to the others we knew online.
A month later, I come back, suddenly they are all playing Runescape.
I join them, thinking it would be "super awesome", I played it for like 30 minutes before going "this game fucking blows, the fucks wrong with you people. I wish I did die."
They eventually stopped playing it as well after a couple months. Lives saved. (although my friend became a WoWtard few years later)

everything after habbo hotel was terrible.
but compared to now, i'd rather have post-habbo 4chan back compared to "tripcodes are a bannable offense" which basically ruined all original content generation on the entire site, since nobody can put a tripcode on to protect their works, it gets stolen by all the reddit/9gag/etc people lurking here. Thus, nobody wants to make OC anymore because you can't protect it.
there's so many people who rage at tripfags who simply weren't around during the early days, when 90% of the site's OC came from fucking tripcode users protecting their original works with an identity.
Example being pic related, 3 Angled Blue was a fucking tripfag, and made (IMO) the most famous /v/ themed comics.
>>321679103
I agree entirely.
The anonymous days of 4chan killed the community so hard.
This place went from a community site to a content site, and content sites are always inferior no matter how big and varied they are.

i could go on for an hour about this with tons of cited information, but i'll just summarize for you what is so creepy about 4chan and SA and their downfall:
both sites started as essentially the same thing: a hybrid discussion board/content generation portal, spurred on because of similar places like Newgrounds. the early years on both sites are always heralded to be the best, both sites suffered a rapid decline because of the creators (moot and lowtax) ceasing to give as much of a fuck, and hiring on new staff members to carry the load for them (not sure on the identities of all the various mods that have ruined 4chan besides moot, but the downfall of SA can be directly blamed on lowtax, for allowing Y Kant Ozma Post and Fistggrl to become moderators, completely bypassing their entry procedures to ensure said moderators are not shitheads)
years down the road, the rules on both sites went from jokes (especially 4chan, who didn't have any rules besides "don't post illegal content like CP or beastiality") to being seriously, heavily enforced, which crippled the communities and content generation on both sites. 4chan went from "the asshole of the internet" to a christian family friendly website, and SA went the same route, except it costs money to post on SA so getting banned is even worse.
now, moot has completely left and abandoned 4chan, lowtax handed forum control over to others and only keeps SA alive to fund his massive pill and alcohol habits.
there's a shit ton of details and specific events i left out but both sites have basically risen and fallen in the exact same manner, for the exact same reasons, around the exact same times. both sites went from being "kings of the internet" as far as content portals are concerned, to filth-ridden cesspools full of unwanted users who never manage to fit in.
finally, pic related. this is still on the SA archives, anyone with a SA account with archives access can go find this. truth sucks, huh?

Tutorial island was always a shit anyway. In my day you just started off as an adventurer, a warrior, or a mage with PK enabled or disabled initially and you went on your merry way.
Tfw your first day on you roll an adventurer with PK enabled and get ganked by people all over Lumby 'til you finally cave and use one of your three PK toggles straight out of the gate. Then walk up to Varrock and watch a PKer get murdered by a guard for trying to start shit in town. THEN watch in horror as someone kills the a guard, then the strongest monster in the game, right in front of the west bank.

New Londo is not below Blighttown/Demon Ruins/Izalith.
It should be pushed up and to the left, also the big tree should continue down into Ash Lake. It wouldn't fit the shape of the image though, but there's better ways the artist could have done it: instead of vastly stretching the Firelink-New Londo elevator, he should have stretched Blighttown vertically, to allow New Londo to fit infront of it, then have the lava be the bottom with Ash Lake extending from the tree.

It's kinda unclear, but the map doesn't show the Abyss (or the Kiln).
But to get to Blighttown you have to be on the same level as the wooden bridges in New Londo, then cross a bridge and go down even further, then the lava area are below that again.
The image puts the Valley of the Drakes bridge next to Firelink, when it should be at the bottom of a lengthy elevator that bypasses the hight of New Londo's cavern.
If you look at it in 3D I'm pretty sure Qualaag's domain is directjy below New Londo.
>>321683197
No it wasn't. The maps made for hunting had 5 monsters each sharing them and the same spawn count and were three times bigger than a town most of the time.

90% of that map in name or design comes from either Tolkien, Warcraft, or ASoIaF and most of it is unique to one specific franchise. They're trying to make a point about how they're so smart and better at writing fantasy than everyone else when the only fantasy media they've ever consumed is LotR, GoT, and WoW

maplestory is just as cringey and autistic as runescape, when there were much better MMORPG's at the time like ultima online, everquest, asheron's call, dark age of camelot, etc.

Haven't played RS since 2007, but that map is still one of my all-time favorites. At the time, it gave a sense of adventure without equal.

The cash shop (yes they have a fucking cash shop now WITH the membership) allow you to get overrides to dress up your character. Tails, wings, glowing eyes. Hell there is even a werewolf override iirc. The game is more about dressup as that seem make better money than having a good game. They also jack the price up from $5 to like almost $8 now though you will have to buy a year worth of membership with a minor discount for exclusive rewards. O and there is literally a minigame where you can spin to win once a day if F2P and twice a day if P2P. Either way you can pay for more spins. If you get an amazing rare but member only item then you must become a member to accept it or lose it. Most items give at least 1k coins but if you are F2P and the item is members then you will just lose it. So even if a F2P spin a godsword, where a member have a choice to trade it for cash or accept it a F2Per only have the choice of drop it or buy membership on the spot.
This isn't strictly a game map, but it's the map of the Minecraft project I work on with people. Much of it made "by hand" with plugins.

im 18. i found out about this place in 2009 but didnt visit regularly until 2011. i only found /v/ in 2014 as a refuge for insecure furtrapwhateverfags that hate everything and didnt sooner becuase i hate the modern vidya industry. i think i checked here once in 2010 though and you guys talked fuck all about games. i didnt find this place (4ch in general) completely unbearable until 2013
i know about alot of this old stuff thanks to places like ED, that shit is like history records.
is there still hope for me, will there be a new era where everythings good?

but they aren't cliches, he's taking unique aspects of fantasy universes and pretending they're cliches because he's a pleb retard that doesn't know better
>Warcraft elves live in a big tree named after Yggdrasil so all elves live in a big tree named after Yggdrasil
>in Game of Thrones there's a big wall in the far north so all fantasy universes have a big wall in the far north
>in LotR there's a big volcano with a spooky name and the hero is from a place called the Shire so all fantasy universes have a volcano with a spooky name and a small town called the Shire
etc.

Possibly. Unsure to tell.
This whole site fell drastically in quality since 2010. It has improved somewhat in the past couple years, but it still has a long way to go to even compare to 2009, never mind pre-2006 era.
Hiro certainly seems to care about fixing this place. Even adding many of the new boards we have wanted for years.
/arch/itecture board when?!
