Cordially yours,

P.S. I am much less fixated on death these days, but everyone knows my title, and such things are difficult to shake once established. I'm certain you understand.

    updated outland maps look awesome...idk why that excited me so much.

    Keep it coming
  1. Schizoide's Avatar
    Two of the outland maps are absolutely identical to the old ones. Only the taxi map is different, with added points of interest.
  1. Schizoide's Avatar
    I compared against the outland map on wowpedia and they looked identical. So either wowpedia is wrong, already updated to the new maps, or you're wrong. Shrug.
