As for everyone being dropped on the 1 continent only at start of W12 I can tell you that's not true. I was dropped on the west continent with several others.

Its also missing a lot of stuff to the south, and the distances between continents is not right. We will probably have to wait on the world map to see the full picture.

Do we know if someone is working on it? Last world didn't take this long to have some kind of map online.. sure it missed a lot of chunks, but it was better than nothing...

It seems the ability to create automated maps for villages going open-source has depreciated the immediate need for a public world map, which led to people not having a shared interest in getting one online.

Well that sucks for all of those who are not in large villages...
So how do those automated maps work? Can me and my friends share a map together? If so, how? (Edit: I mean, how without manually stitching them together)

This was my interpretation as well. The barrier to entry for creating a private mapping tool has been lowered, so more people are doing so and want to keep their knowledge secret. That is the best explanation for the unprecedented delay in the appearance of a public map. It's shitty, but it's human nature. I would encourage people to start leaking the private mapping services soon.

I'm using Vendan's version 4.4 of the auto-mapper, I believe both Amber and Purus Pasta support this implementation. It's not too terrible to get going, it's just running on an Amazon ec2 instance of Ubuntu 18.04

Here's a link to his readme, with a little trial and error I don't think it's too terrible to get up and running.

Imagine if people would read the actual thread on what delays there are to getting a world map posted instead of speculating.

Most recent post on the matter: http://www.havenandhearth.com/forum/vie ... 30#p855119
Opinions expressed in this statement are the authors alone and in no way reflect on the game development values of the actual developers.
