Worldmap for Online RPG

[Tear]

Welcome Master Wu.
I think you have an interesting project going on.

Here are some additional questions that will make it easier to find the right cartographer for your task:

1) Do you want the map to be isometric-ish like shown in your example, or don't you care about that aspect? I know you said the particular style is up for grabs, but it would help to know how important that aspect is for you.

2) I noticed your concept maps are not very consistent. Is that because you haven't mapped your game world yet, or is it because you would accept the effort to change it? In my book, a mapper tries to represent the given world as best as possible. If you present different maps showing different versions... that makes things really difficult. You should at least post what the world is now against what was envisioned, so changes on both sides can be kept to a minimum.

3) I guess you are looking for one big map that covers all zones? Or do you want seperate maps for each zone?

4) It would be nice to see a screenshot of how hills and mountains and forests and light brush are represented in the game, so the artist can choose where to put what.

Just some thoughts here, that hopefully will help find the right cartographer for the job.
