== Submit maps to SOE == | |||
SOE has added a way to submit your maps to them. If they like your map, it will be added into the game. | |||
{{Cquote|Hello Fellow Norrathians! | |||
To coordinate with our Free-To-Play Launch, we are offering a great opportunity to our players to put your mark inside the game! Many Maps have been created over the years and we are looking for the best map makers out there to submit your work to the EverQuest Team and if we like your map, we will include it with download of the game. | |||
To thank you for the great work on making the maps that we select, we will include your Name (Character Name) and Server Name on the Map as a small token of our appreciation. | |||
We thank you for being part of the community and for sharing your map skills with the rest of Norrath!|}} | |||

When drawing maps, you can go to one location, mark that as a starting point for a line, then move to another and mark the end of the line. A line will be drawn between those two points. Or you can draw continuous lines by starting a line and moving around adding points as you go until you choose to end the line. You can also turn on the automatic mode that will start the line where you are and add new points every time your character changes directions until you choose to end the line. | When drawing maps, you can go to one location, mark that as a starting point for a line, then move to another and mark the end of the line.
