Mapper Unofficial Retro Project for 2013 (Paid Position)

[J.Dre]

I'm searching for a somewhat skilled and creative mapper who is willing to do some work on a custom 8.0 map for an upcoming 7.72 server for the summer. I have been told that working with old school maps is, and I quote, "boring." I am not a mapper, so I can't comment on this, but I can see why it would be. This isn't going to be a difficult task, it will be a time consuming one. Because of this I have decided I will offer some money in return for your time (more information below).

The task at hand:

• Houses:
  The current map barely supports 100 players and has even less houses. I would like nicely styled houses to be added to all of the towns.
• Towns:
  The map needs at least two more towns, all connected similar to how Tibia's main towns are with forest and paths in between, with hunting areas and quests as well. The towns should be creatively made with small park areas overlooking ponds and whatnot, with benches and pathways - a very creative mind is needed for this specific task. I would like to have a very unique and welcoming map for players of all sorts, including signs hinting to directions to stores and other areas in the towns as well.
• Spawns:
  The server supports about 100 players, if that, and I am hoping to add quite a lot of hunting areas so that every player can hunt without the disturbance of another player. I want the server to be able to support at least 250 players daily. As there aren't many monsters in 7.72, this part will be a little different than what most mappers are used to. I would like secret paths (hidden and tricky to find) that lead to open areas and spawns underground or in mountains, similar to Port Hope.
• Revamping:
  Nearly the whole map needs to be revamped, as you can see from above. The current towns are bleak and lifeless, I would like to add vines, rocks, lights, paths, etc. to the town to bring them to life. This is not a difficult task but it is a time consuming one.

Hopefully this is detailed enough to know what I am looking for. This is a work in progress and requires a patient individual who has a creative mind willing to dedicate a few hours a day to mapping for a couple weeks. I'm willing to offer some money for this task as it is very time consuming, which will be discussed at a later time in private. But if you quit, the amount of money you receive will vary. In hopes of keeping this project unique and in the hands of the right people, I will expect a mapper who trustworthy and responsible enough to keep this map in our possession.

I currently have nothing to do, but olso have absolutely no experience whatsoever towards "mapping",
i'm willing to spend a couple of hours a day (1-5) to learn how to & help u with this project
allthough from my experience in minecraft, even making the smallest structures takes a long time, since i'm kinda ocd regarding things i construct
payment won't be required, i'd simply do it for honor&glory , and the experience
