Asia Map

Postby Woodruff on Sun Dec 05, 2010 4:25 pm

Why is the Asia map internally labeled as "Far East"? Shouldn't the internal label match the external (in the map list) label? It was very confusing trying to find this map...in fact, I had to post in the Questions and Answers forum to get help in finding it.
...I prefer a man who will burn the flag and then wrap himself in the Constitution to a man who will burn the Constitution and then wrap himself in the flag.

I've asked lack to consider renaming it to "Asia: Far East", and he declined my request.

What could POSSIBLY be the rationale for not changing the name? Does lack DESIRE confusion on his site? I find this an...alarming position to take.

Well, if the new Asia map gets beta quenched, maybe lack will change it so that the new Asia map can simply be "Asia"? *COUGH* MRBENN *COUGH* viewtopic.php?f=241&t=107241

Seriously...does this mean it isn't going to happen? I really don't understand the logic in not fixing this labeling problem. Do we prefer that our customers are confused?
