I found an old post which shows the overworld map that I helped to design and build when I was the LAT Admin (which then encompassed graphics, ganis, scripting, and tiling). Most ledge tiling in that map can be attributed to me, even though my primary role was scripting. Almost noone can do cliff tiles right. A few historic cases of cliff tiling that break proportions on that map are Onnet Town and behind the wedding chapel north of the Joint. There are a lot of bad examples of cliff tiling in the newer levels on iGraal.

This older map had a lot more levels (many of which were transplanted to the above map). There was even a complementary set of underwater levels. One day I went online to discover that the map had been reduced to the boundaries of Burger Refuge on the west, Master Li's on the east, Supernick's in the north, and The Joint in the south.

After that I joined development, became the admin, tried to rebuild, but scripting talent was extremely sparse, and scripters that were qualified would often work on what they wanted to work on rather than working on a directed goal. There were also very few talented levelers, but they produced the most, which led to a large world with not a lot of content.

Of course most of my scripts have been nixed because I made a custom movement and serverside hit detection system (a requirement from the server manager), and a lot of the scripts I wrote depended on the movement system. Well, at least the horse script I made wouldn't let you go through walls.
