I found this while googling. Mah old Beluaterra map!

I'm not really happy with that. Landgrab appears to be a Freemium game, and that's borderline commercial. At the very least, asking would've been good.

The problem with Landgrab is that it allows the player to make and upload maps. Thus such stealing is rampant.

Someone asked about it back in 2009 and I basically said it's not a good idea because these aren't really "my" maps, given that the tile graphics are (C) by whoever made the AoW graphics.
But that was about a different map, so it's someone else.

I did that very long ago, I didn't really think of suck things back then (nor did any other BM player I was in contact with as I made it), and the possibility of non-BM players playing on it, given how fugly it looks, had not occurred to me either.

I haven't connected to that in years, but if my account still exists, maybe I can look to see if the map can be deleted, if you want.

[Tom]

I've contacted the person who runs LandGrab, not saying "delete it", but telling them that I'm not 100% sure about the legal issues, especially since we're using the AoW editor ourselves. He replied saying he'd delete the map, and that stuff like that happens all the time with player-submitted maps.

Well, I don't think any BM players were using it anymore anyways, so that's fine.
