The first addon I want to share is WoWMap. I admit, I was a World of Warcraft player and I really like the worldmap feature of that game.

WoWMap gives us that functionality and feel. Taking it from the author:

Tired of having to work your way through that annoying dropdown menu every time you want to check something on a different map? Then WoWMap is for You! The aim of WoWMap is to make the worldmap of RoM feel like you may know it from WoW i.e. the map handling will be changed to feel more like WoW.

This is how my Runes of Magic worldmap looks like:

With additional functionalities not found on the default RoM worldmap like:

• Right-Click: Zooms the map out by one level. Examples:
  • When you are displaying a zone map it will change to the worldmap; or
  • When you are displaying the map of Varanas it will change to the map of Silverfall.
• Left-Click: Clicking on a zoomable area, the worldmap zooms in on that area or zone or town. Examples:
  • When you are viewing the worldmap itself and you click on Howling Mountains, it will zoom-in and show the zone map of Howling Mountains; or
  • When you click on the town of Varanas, WoWMap will zoom-in and show you the town map of Varanas.

The original features are still intact. If you want to ping the map or show the dropdown menu, simply press your Shift key then Click! Of course all other maps are viewable, if your local RoM server have it enabled.

1. Get the latest version of WoWMap which is v1.8.5.
2. Extract the WoWMap folder to your /Interface/AddOns/ folder located on your Runes of Magic folder. (If it isn’t there, just create it.)

That simple! But if for whatever reason it isn’t working for you, then do the following steps:

1. Download this RoM mappack (it’s safe, don’t worry)
2. Extract the folder to /Interface/ (NOT /Interface/AddOns/)
3. Rename the folder to: WorldMap

That should do it.

But if it is still not working for you, especially if your local RoM server have a different setting somewhere like Runes of Magic Philippines, then you need to do additional steps:

1. Go to the folder: /Interface/AddOns/WoWMap/
2. Open the file: WoWMap.lua
3. Search for (usually line 87): loc == "ENUS"
4. Change it to: if (loc == "ENUS" or loc == "PH") then (change “PH” to your own locale if needed)
5. Save the file!

Done! Finally! Go enjoy Runes of Magic with a new enhanced worldmap.

By the way, if you do not want to use the WoWMap addon but you want to see the latest map of RoM, just download the RoM mappack as instructed above. However, do not expect to see some of the maps if it isn’t enabled or activated on your local RoM server.
