This Place is Hydlaa Valley, outside of Hydlaa Plaza, it\'d be exciting because its like once you leave the small area of Hydlaa Plaza, the whole world is just boom right in front of you, the excitment of traveling area for the first doesn\'t last very long as we level up. I just thought one of the best experiences I had in an MMORPG is finally getting to see the real world that is outside.

Here\'s the Hydlaa Outskirts, this area is the last area of the Hydlaa Region, once you go further you\'ll enter the Kazabaloom Desert. This area is good for farming and has a small lake for fishing. Plus the Monsters would be a little stronger obviously they live in the desert which means they don\'t need as much to survive.

Some comments:
- What\'s the scale?
- Please use another file type: jpg makes it a bit blurry.
- On the first map the forest-color and land-color should be switched.

Post by: Kuiper7986 on July 02, 2004, 05:02:44 pm: I can\'t say the scale cuz how don\'t know how big the caverns are. And yes I\'ll try to change the scale. I\'ll change the grass and forest colors on the next map.

Also , the ps world is suposed to be 100% undergroud , with only stuff like caverns and so

Post by: elscouta on July 03, 2004, 08:50:26 pm: Yeah, i wonder if there will be big seas or oceans. Mountains and rivers are probably ok since the levels are a lot espaced, but as all water will go on the two bottom levels, i doubt we will see oceans...

Post by: Crj on July 03, 2004, 09:39:14 pm: The setting site says something about rivers and lakes. But not seas and ocens. So far we know that there are 2 gigant lakes, one in the stalactite and one under the stalactite. I guess there wont be any seas or ocens.... its underground anyway. And so far it seems that there wont be any montains either.

Use GIF for pictures like these, dont compress it with MS paint though. Save it as BMP and then compress it with something like photoshop so you get less dithering.

Post by: orogor on July 04, 2004, 04:51:55 pm: Haa, using gifs is not a bad idee because there s very few colors, but using indexed colors in png , he should obtain approx the same results , without the 16 colors limitation

Post by: Monketh on July 04, 2004, 05:41:25 pm: Rivers, lakes, and mountains could be formed on the upper levels, actually.

Looks like somebody only has MSPaint. :P

Post by: Androgos on July 04, 2004, 06:12:04 pm: It also says that the 2 lower levels will be flodded, and i can tell you, that isn\'t too small

The maximum is 256.

Post by: Kuiper7986 on July 08, 2004, 04:18:03 am: This is the way I see it. It\'s just like the regular world except just put a big cavern on top of everything.

Yes there will be oceans and rivers I assume, since what Androgos said, \"both lower levels will be flooded,\" and it also says on the main site.

Title: The Great Desert of Kazabaloom Region
Post by: Kuiper7986 on July 08, 2004, 07:09:10 pm: (http://img15.photobucket.com/albums/v46/Kuiper/PSMAPx.jpg)

This is the Great Desert of Kazabaloom. It doesn\'t look very great but it should be. It\'s supposed to be a dry arrid desert that\'s huge. There\'s a few mining spots, some mountains, and a big mountainous ridge that surrounds the Cryusan Mountains, known as the Rimus Ridge. There would be weird monsters that run around this desert. Not a place for beginners.

Post by: Frarda on December 20, 2004, 09:22:05 pm: Kuiper, would you mind if I took a shot at taking the maps and adding some texture to it and the like to make them a little more visually pleasing? I wouldn\'t change the layout or anything....
