I will not change the way I organize my maps or the
way I name said maps. They are ment to be in /mlab.
Changing the location of the tavern complex is a
possibility (perhapse navar?). As for the other
things: beggers cannot be choosers, take it or leave
it. If you leave it it is easy for me to re-intergrate
the maps into my server at each upgrade so people can
change them there. This is free labour you have
recieved so if you want things to be un(unacceptable)
then pay me $10.95 per hour. If you change the paths
of the maps I gaurentee that you will break them.
Don't complain about how a package is organized if
it's free and high quality.
