I changed the map back to the simple version we had at the beginning and the hard version is now avaiable as very hard.
I would say it's not for more than 2 players. It wasn't 'hard' just too cluttered. Maybe cut out 20% of the npcs that aren't critical to the story and probably fine.
Four of us played this map tonight. I'm sorry to say that the complexity really made it hard to enjoy.
There are SO many characters, we spent 2 days just pressing buttons and reading about items we didn't have. I'm afraid we made almost no progress whatsoever. It was very difficult to find the first characters to start the actual story chain.
Caveat - this could be problematic in multiplayer. So much scrolling text and not able to follow a consistent storyline. It might be better single player. But I feel like it will still take too long just to figure out any decent series of trades.
Other thoughts;
The meteor is a cool idea.
It's too easy to get lots of time potions from the person at the pumpkin farm (if I remember correctly).
The narration/dialogue around the disease feels bit ... forced.
The server parts are quite intriguing, if you could make a map where people really did publish messages that would be mind-blowing. The note dialog was very well done, and the griefing/hack felt like a good progression.
But it really seemed incongruous with the story part.
This is kind of ironic to post this right after your "I'm not reviewing maps anymore" video, but I just released a new map, called Note, and I think you would really enjoy playing it.
Normally I wouldn't post anything here, but it's 100% story, and probably one of the deepest, saddest stories I've ever played, let alone made.
Hey Ron, I don't know if you're still interested, but my latest map, "The Power of the Pumpkin" is completed and fixed. I would love to know a honest opinion about it.
Are you planning on attending Minecon 2013? Tell us about it!
I really hope I can go and be a panelist again. 2011 was amazing.
I'm hoping it takes place the weekend before or after Thanksgiving, in Disneyworld. That way I can 'convince' my family to let me go and tie it in with our annual vacation so I don't have to travel twice back to back!

Not by me. I would recommend significant overhaul to be a modern Ctm.

We very much enjoyed the simplicity of Warthford.
