I've made a few final (I hope) fixes in the "LL Mainland Continents" and "Sansara & Heterocera" maps, including adding Routes 66 and 50 and a name for the new continent north of Corsica. According to Jack Linden, the new continent is Gaeta, too. Gaeta will be a group of five continents. From: Jack Linden The continent you have labeled Gaeta on your map, is actually the 5th Gaeta continent. You see Gaeta is a set of 5 continents ranging in size from quite small up to large (800+ regions). The only one of these 5 to so far go onto the grid is the 5th one. The new one you mention is actually Gaeta 1 really.But those are internal names really, I expect that we'll talk about them as Gaeta Major, Gaeta North etc. they will have distinct names.
From: Carl Metropolitan Jack -- Thank you. A few follow up questions: 1) Do I have permission to distribute your answers to interested parties? (There was a forum thread). 2) Are the two existing Gaeta segments continents named or numbered yet? and 3) Is there a map of the proposed final layout? (I'd love to be able to include a dotted line outline of the remainder of Gaeta in my maps.) From: Jack Linden Carl, i've no real worries about you talking publicly about this. If i'd had the bandwidth I'd have done so myself hehe. No, the two existing ones haven't really had a name attached to them yet, but they will. We do have a final layout, but I'd rather not give that out because it will almost certainly change.  Linden Lab Mainland Continents (01.01.09)  Sansara & Heterocera (01.01.09) As usual, inworld kiosks will auto-updated over the next twelve hours. |

Okay Carl you're going to kill me, but i have a request.
Unless we make the map into a huge texture (1024x1024 pixels which takes a long time to load and adds to lag) you can't read the small text. Could you make the fonts bigger? That way we can make the texture 500x500 and still have the small text be readable and that will cut down on lag.
A 1024 x 1024 texture is something I try to avoid at all costs. I try to make most of my textures 400x400 pixels max if I can. Often I use 256x 256 for building.
