In Response To: Re: *sigh* - Why do the best mapmakers get a life? (Steve Levinson)

: Not for a long time. The Rubicon team invited him to join in making Rubicon X
: - OK, I kinda invited him. Turned out he was doing his year of mandatory
: service. I heard from him once after he got back, but then we never heard
: from him again and our e-mails went unanswered. Too bad - Xareem was
: totally cool. Scott Brown even volunteered to write a real story for
: Xareem, but then Tilo disappeared. *sigh*

: BTW - it is possible to get a life and still be involved in the community.
: Look at me - I've been married nearly 20 years (yes, I'm that old). John
: Sumner has a wife and kids. True, we're not mapmakers, but we spend as
: much time on this game as just about anyone.

The problem with being a good mapper is that you have to really FOCUS on it. A good (solo)map takes around 3-5 days to create, and then I count like 4-6 hours per day.

When you come home from School, work or whatever, you usually have about 8 hours of free time. Half of that needs to go to mapping if you're serious about it.

In my opinion, the differance between playing and mapping, is the same as builing a tv and watching tv. Even if it takes the same time, one of the things requires more energy and dedication.
