ah! sorry.

It's the Felluca map.

I guestimate nearly 3 times the usable land mass as the original Felluca map

Extreme: Map making is very time consuming; even after you complete the terrain you have to build the cities.. and after thats done you have to completely rewrite sphere's region/map files to match all your city locations, caves, forests, everyything. That way the server understands the difference between you mining in a cave, and wandering around your main cities. Not to mention to do it right you have to go all over the map in your map editor and manually fix a bunch of minor glitches from the generator where things didnt line up quite right.

My server has been in dev. for 3 solid months now. But, I am also rewriting a lot of systems as I go. It's not all 100% map work, but I'd say about 50-60% of my dev time was getting the map to where it is now and it's not even remotely done. :/
