You are right that this version of Ruins (Retuned) is still a bit to open, but no more so then Two Caves or Frogs Lair. Of course, nothing is final so i may alter it some more to make it more enjoyable for all classes. The version you talked about is still there though, just vote for Ruins.

 

two caves is not that appreciated by players but frog lair is, and that's for a simple fact. frog lair has a gathering point in the middle while two caves and ruins, in this case, is just a big field with few stuff around to fill the map. spawns play a huge role too. you can have a big ass map but if the spawns are placed good, no one will complain about distance, spawn kills or unbalance.

 

 

As long as we are talking about maps, are you working on any new stuff Elary? 

no and i don't intend to.

Since i consider you a very good and skilled map maker. I have taken your criticism to heart and altered the Ruins Retuned map yet again with tighter spawns, a long river moat, a fenced area and some other new stuff.  As for a gathering spot, it already had one. Easily accessible at the farm area via a tp-door from the middle ruins. As it is now, i think it is quite balanced for every class in the game. People just have to get accustomed to it.

I have also tried to optimise the map Chaos in Yalen by removing some buildings and items. It has better fps now then before. It has better fps then Amphitheatre anyway:)

Now my map Castle Regreth has been altered also, i removed the centre walls and added a arena circle instead. This will give more protection in the middle and more importantly it will give the eyes a more fixed and stable scenery.

@Iceqatius Perhaps all there's need is to edit some other native maps with few neoGK features such as adding, balistas or launchers to port assault, or adding balloons or healing spots into nord town. 
Blackdeath & Aeneu edited some of these maps including added healing spot and underground area to Arena so perhaps all for fancy roster is just a bit of NeoGK to old vanilla maps?
