Title: 11/3 Changes in a few Maps
Post by: Astro on November 03, 2010, 12:40 PM

Maps are back to normal.  With that change, brought a change to the Western Map.  You no longer have to go through the Mercantile, to get to the Checkers game.

Also, for anyone that doesn't know where the game Sleepy Hollow is.  It's in Victorian Age, and VFK made a spot on the Map for it as well (this change didn't come with the Maps, Sleepy Hollow has been here since the game was released to play).

Adding Splashtastic Map (Thanks Fun!)

Tiki Theater and Quake have been added.

If anyone is interested when first released it was called just "Sleepy Hollow", but now, when the maps changed for the Autumn settings, they changed the title to "The Haunting of Sleepy Hollow".

I think the new maps will take some getting use too like we use to be able to fly straight down to get to the Mercantile Shop, but can't anymore.

My thought, exactly.  The maps are getting kindof crowded.  Now we'll have to squeeze between areas or navigate around areas.  We should be able to just click on a destination like in VMK and transport directly there without having to 'slalom'.  We should also be able to travel to different instances like in VMK.  2 cents ;)

Join the club.  Nothing like moving uber slow over there.  Takes too much time to get around.  Not even bothering to mention that to VFK again  :hmm:

Man, I must be getting lazy cause I like the new Splash map now cause now you can go right to the movies without having to go to China first to get there.  I missed some of the movies cause I had no time to walk all the way there lol.

Being lazy right there with ya Krazy!  And besides, I can NEVER remember how to get there anyway!  While these new maps are too late to make Trick or Treating easier, I am glad they will be around for Egg Hunting!!  Makes it so much easier to make sure we are hitting enough rooms to collect our prizes!

But yes, the maps are getting crowded, they definitely could have placed some of these better!  I wonder if we can find mini short-cuts to some places though.  For example I always get the Mercantile area by going to the stable first and hitting the way out that is right smack next to me.

VFK has movies?   :lolp:  I forget about those all the time.  Most of the time I have no time.  ROFL.  Someday, I shall watch a movie, I think.  ;)

I've been using that Mercantile shortcut from the Stable first for a while.  I had started a thread which they were kind enough to make a sticky here:

These are the shortcuts from our own various rooms and other hints for shortcuts as given

http://www.vmknobs.com/index.php?topic=5001.0

I do wish they'd give us some new rooms of our own that exited out to a few of the other public rooms. It does make 'questing' so much easier when I can go from one of my own rooms without map lag.

I keep forgetting that sticky.  :doh:  Yeah, having to hit the main map alot of times is MAJOR lag.  Blah. :uhuh2:

Thanks for the updates everyone. It may take me a while to get out of my usual "flying pattern" during quests and hunts. But, it is nice to see some extra things on the maps.  :thumb:
