    Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't a known map more succesfull than a whole new map?

    People who want to make a quick trade will go on a server with a map they already downloaded in the past rather than downloading a new map.
    I prefer an already downloaded map for the trades I make ingame, so that's maybe something to consider.

    Problem is, those "standard maps" are either only used by a specific group, or are crashing the server.

    If we have a good working map, we become more popular and people will just come to us all the time.

    I dunno, i cant see since i dont have the map.. i am just saying dont make it too big that it soo big that you cant run away from it ;)

    thing is, with a small logo, people could steal the map and use it for there own server.. with a small logo nobody bothers to adjust it and we have free commercials :) with a big logo, nobody dears to touch it on there own servers..
