Editable Maps

I think that people should be able to host their own world games for rp purposes and they should be able to edit the borders of countries before the games starts, so that their is no annoying land swap phase at the beginning and you can just jump right into the action. The physical geography would still be the same, but they would be able to change borders, and maybe add new factions for the purpose of roleplaying.

Very few RP games are set up for the world map. However, to give users the power to create such maps would be extremely abusable, since many would create a world map all for themselves, and many world maps would be empty. However, if you want to create a world map game for RP, you only have to ask a staff member.

Right, @Sir McSquiggles?

The past is a foreign country.

Good suggestion.

They would not be abusable because you could make a map and then send it to staff member to see if they are allowed to use it or not.

Which means staff have a LOT of work to do.

I guess that is a good point that I had not considered

Lol. Time that they work for their pay.

JK. They've done more than enough already.

Very true, but it's not like they would get any gold from it without 5 other players. I know I had this problem where I was making an RPG on world map, but it would have taken months to set up by taking the land, so I had to cancel.
