Public Thingwall map

Post by VDZ »

I know a lot of people are skittish about sharing any info about their immediate vicinity, but I've found Thingwalls to be very useful for travel; particularly trade greatly benefits from having them. However, actually finding the things is a very time-consuming process. As such I'd like to share the Thingwalls I've found so far with you and ask you to add any that you know of and are comfortable with sharing with everyone else, so we can all extend our fast travel range.

Use this URL to access the map: https://vatsul.com/HnHMap/map?markers=3 ... .92&zoom=4 (be aware that any markers you add to this will be publicly visible!)

EDIT: The map was vandalized. For now, here's a read-only copy of the map: https://vatsul.com/HnHMap/map?markers=e ... .84&zoom=3 (any changes you make on this will not be submitted to the server and will be lost when you close/refresh the page)

EDIT2: Markers have been re-imported (thanks to Shubla for adding this feature) and you can add Thingwalls again. You can also make a personal copy by clicking this link to start a new map, clicking 'import & share markers' and entering the public Thingwall map URL.

Going from what I had found I assumed there would be 1 or very few per landmass to facilitate sea travel so I'm surprised to see that cluster down in the south.

It's clustered like that everywhere, those are just the ones I found so far. They're pretty close together usually.

They're literally all over the place.

I guess I was just unlucky, then. Those 3 do form a nice route from the south to the middle continent, though.

That's related to how they work. You can only fast travel from one Thingwall to a neighboring Thingwall (not just freely to any other Thingwall you know). Thus, if A neighbors B, and C neighbors B but not A, you need to travel from A to B, then from B to C. (You don't have to wait for the fast travel to complete each time; the moment you select a destination you get its menu before the fast travel finishes, allowing you to pick your next destination if you're chain-traveling.)

Well done for making this VDZ, I had been thinking about it but know that I am simply too busy IRL to take the time to do it. I will add the ones I know about to you map.

Ogey, read my thread about Thingwalls, they are quite easy to find once you know how. Look up Voronoi Diagrams and turn the realms overlay on.

At this point, most of the Thingwalls on there were contributed by others. I just got the ball rolling.
