You will love this, I hope. Was a lot of work getting it right:

Time-lapse video of 7 years of history on the East Island, from 2005 to 2012.



And yes, the other islands are coming. :-)

You got it to work?! Very nice. I tried for quite a while to do it back when you first revealed the stash of maps you had, but could never get the programs to work properly...  It's pretty cool that I played through almost all of that history. :D

Wow.... I love the way the entire map just locks up from the last part of 2006, through almost all of 2007. That's the big continental gridlock that ended with the start of the second big war.

The way that the Ibladesh flags keep popping up and the disappearing at the end. Love it! "I'm not dead yet!" :P

Just love it. The moment when Sirion and Fontan kept exchanging regions. It brings back memories. And last 30s was me leading Sirion to destroy SoA \o/ 8)

So. Awesome. Never realized OR was so big! And forgot how huge Ibladesh was for so long too...

Wow that was amazing, thanks for sharing Tom. I only started in early 2009, but it was really awesome to see the history I personally saw there as well with the gridlock in the north for so long between Sirion vs Fontan and SoA. Those were fun times.

Very cool. Really puts all our petty realm squabbles in perspective.

Almost brought a tear to the eye as I watched Itorunt expanding and reaching the point where the ruler decided that we were invincible and started our downfall, watching until we were no more... :(

Great to relive many moments. And to see how some realms have risen, and of course how other have fallen. I had to watch it again to see everything. It happens so fast.

This was really fun to watch.

I kinda felt bad about killing off Ibladesh, as Caligus's High Marshal.

Umm, I mean, BURN THE HERETIC!

Well, depending on your view...
