So I'm toying around with the world builder and it's pretty frustrating. I know at one point I found a link to visit the map I was working on but I can't find it now. And then before I created a spawn point i had to search around for that too which seemed odd when there was a place that said "no spawn point created yet" which I thought should have linked directly to the page to create one.

I agree Dekah. I asked around a lot to learn what I did, but a more involved overview of the system could be used. Maybe one of the guys that deal with it alot could write an article for the Wiki.

The thing I found infuriating was the NPC types. It says in the description "you can create your own custom NPC's or choose one from our list of default ones" and yet there are no "default" NPC's....whats up with that? So any NPC you want to create costs  you points which I could understand if you want your own custom NPC's but if you're just wanting a regular general guy it seems a  little silly.

We still don't have default NPC Types? (smiley)

I can fix that (smiley)

Okay, you created a map, but you can't find it any more. I'm not sure how to help with this one (smiley)

- Maps are created inside of Places. Places are like containers for groups of maps, the idea being, you put all of the maps related to the "place" you're building in the same Place (smiley)

- Recently modified/created places will appear on the WB Home page, for convenience.

- Spawn points are set on the Place itself, via Edit Place. It lets you point to a certain coordinate, on 
a certain map within that place. I do agree that we need to put a little icon on the map viewer, to show where the spawn point is. The only way to find out now is to look at the Place Overview page, or Edit Place.
