oh my... never saw those cards before. Ive seen a bunch, but not those particular ones... they WOULD go to all that work for one little trading card.... maybe its not the map.

I dont like all that tainted stuff though.....

....we've NEVER had a plot where a perfectly good city has something turn it evil and it gets all purple and black and the leaders grow dark and pets become evil and big purple thorns come out of the ground..... nope. never had a plot like that....


EDIT: oh, and another thing i just thought of in reguards to the other side of neopia..... at least NOW They have a good reason for holding off so long with the Lutari.... when they reveal the other side of neopia.... they have to have geography that can support a whole bunch of worlds, and it would be ugly if it just had ONE world on it.... now when they release the other side of neopia, they can release TWO worlds, Altador and lutari island! Unless of course they just revamp the WHOLE thing into a big spinning neopia and they move the worlds all over the place so its more organized..... thenn..... that'd be different.

Oh, no... We'll never get HTML maps back now!

Yea, now that I compare it like that, Maraqua WAS a huge letdown. But we still have to remember that the trading card IS merchandise. And it's so much easier drawing a small picture onto card than actually making each little house something 'clickable' and 'explorable'

Just to nitpick a little, in my case anyway, I'd have a far easier time making each little house clickable than producing the art in the first place...

I agree, I love the way the kacheek in the greeting card looks.

I think a roman/greek theme is fantastic, and the map looks great. I've always looked forward to the other side of Neopia, but this is much better than what I envisioned. I thought it would either remind me of Faerieland or Meridell.

Yeah. That was my first thought too. HTML navigation has died pretty quickly. I don't know about the spinning map. I would just like some 'click here to go to the other side of the world' thing on the regular map. The can still spread stuff around and give us a Flash overload, but not give us too much of an overload.

But, we've known this was coming for a while.
Editorial Issue: 165 | 5th day of Storing, Y8:

Yes, they also mentioned that there wouldn't be anymore new html maps because of all the different translations and therefore images they'd have to create for a single map. My beef with that is that for the people it truly affects on dialup and such, a map without any text markers whatsoever would still be fine. There'd be no translation required and you'd only have to make one image instead of a gazillion. It seems like they really didn't put much effort into lowbandwidth alternatives to flash at all.

Niiiice. I would love to see that as a map. It has a lot of potential... I also like the toga paintbrush idea proposed here!

Having been a dail-up user until very recently, I must say that I pity the players who'll still have it when the new map is released.
I mean.. Neopets can be laggy for me, even with a fast connection. I wouldn't be surprised if some people quit due to how long they'd have to wait for things to load.

Can you imagine a Roman-based PB? At first you would think there wasn't much to do besides togas...but there could be gladiator versions...uh...ones based on Roman/Greek gods... ...okay, I guess there isn't much you can elaborate with there. Just different variations of the same thing.

But they have plenty of PBs goin' on, and I'm THRILLED with how Altador looks! It's beautiful! I just hope the plot's as good.

Well, you can also have the laurel wreaths, and the heavy golden jewelry. It's a cool idea. It'll also probably have to be boy/girl, like the Royal Paint Brush or Usuki.

Dur, not really. If they did a gladiator brush instead of pets in bed sheets it could have the potential to obtain awesome status. I'd imagine they might make some Altadorian royals, but I hope that's as far as it goes. The have enough problems as it is with royal trying to come up with unique base colors that aren't identical to the ones already available. Gladiators could at least have body and face paint markings to go along with their armor. And why do I feel like I've said this before? Somewhere...

Gladiator would be pretty cool. There were many types of gladiators, and all would look cool here. Imagine a Zafara or Mynci with a trident and net going against an Acara or Blumaroo with armor and gladius. Ooo! The Koi Warrior could be one of the colors too. Good idea.
