This is a clickable map that someone made from the 04 e3.

It is nice to think of where the game came from when you click on the map.

Wow! Weird...the Stone Summit invade Ascalon? Fort Koga? The Tombs of Drascir? Kyhlo? It just makes you think how much changes during the development of a game...

Fort Koga sounds something what Factions will have by controlling cities, area and whatnot.
And Tombs of Drascir seems to be what current tombs are.

Hmm, I dunno. These names actually fit the lore much better IMO.

i think its cool how you can purchase a Khylo axe in pre sear, which means they didnt totally erase everything from before.

Fort Koga was 4 vs 4 map, with other team defending and other attacking. Defenders had couple of npcs on their side, which were mere speedbumps at the time.

Tombs of Drascir was what is now known as HA.

Half of the explorable zone was not populated at the time.. But I found a lynx for my ranger back then (too bad it had only 1 life, and was really, really painful to level up)

Thats basically map of Ascalon, with couple of other places thrown in as a taste of other environments. Charr were quite powerful at the time, as they started as lvl 15, and went upwards

yeah I remember Nolani Academy being hard because everyone was stuck at level 15 and all the monsters were centered around it.
