The funny thing is that the current diagrammatic layout is exactly how I have always internally visualised the classic map!!!

Everything has gone completely silent!
Are you psyching up to give us terrible news on this?

We're just working out the details of how it will run, and I expect there will be an announcement soon...

However, a small team of people have been working through the night, and hopefully will be able to announce something later today...

This isn't helping guys...
The site has decided that the Classic map has to come down... Lack appears to have decided that we're not going to be able to use a world map with the classic gameplay.
Please be patient, while we get our heads around what we're going to do next...

I am slowly coming to terms with the loss of this great and my favourite map!
I strongly advise that you do not map the map quickly behind closed doors (frankly we feel alienated and left out enough already)
We have come to terms somewhat we the loss of the map.
1. make a loss grating temporary map
2. Run the best damn map Competition and bring back your punters together feeling like part of the site.
Be quick but don't rush it.
Give the ultimate replacement the best possible chance at being magnificent and to the taste of the largest number of customers possible.
Trust our judgement and we will trust the site.
Juan_Bottom wrote:I don't think an actual world map matters, only the gameplay. Like jiminski sid there is a strange co-incidence going on here about a world with oceans of lava.... I still think that we could do the competition, if only to see who can make themost original and best map with the same gameplay, whatever that gameplay will be.
...
Except for the "trust your judgement" part, big ditto.
But, you should prolly only trust jiminski's judgement...

I am not in possession of all the facts - I have shared what little I have been able to, to try and help move things along...
I genuinely believed a competition was going to happen, but it now looks like it isn't

Surely that depends on who's point of view you are coming from.
