Making World of Warcraft-style maps of real-life locations is an old-fashioned tradition used by fans around the globe with WOW WoTLK Classic Gold . One more World of Warcraft avid player has recently joined in the art of creating classic-style maps that cover a couple of dozen European nations. Redditor as well as Warcraft fan Nomadichedgehog was the artist responsible for the creation of this set of maps. 

The source says that Nomadichedgehog developed the maps with "Photoshop and using a Wacom tablet along with a lot of patience and time." The map was first released by Nomadichedgehog for Italy, Sweden, and the Netherlands a couple of weeks ago, with England to follow shortly and Denmark has only recently been completed. Most of the maps feature versions in both English and their nation's primary languages as well. Each of them is made with exemplary detail and looks as if they could be found inside World of Warcraft today. Many of the major cities and landmarks have been portrayed with assets taken directly from the existing Warcraft regions maps.

Nomadichedgehog is not the only artist to embark on the task. ConservationOfWumbo is among the most well-known with his ongoing plan to recreate the 50 states of the world in Game of Thrones' style. Spoon has made a few of maps that are similar such as one of England with the Outland style as well as Winston-91 has previously created a map of the Netherlands. Most of these artists been able to comment on each other's work and plugged one another's projects, creating a non-official network of cartographers. The public was captivated by the work of Nomadichedgehog. Each of his articles garnered more than 100 comments within the first day of his coming online. 

Many people asked him if he had plans to tackle additional European states as well, in World of Warcraft style. According to the author, Germany is on his short list, with eventual plans to tackle all (if not all) of Europe. A few people also inquired if he sold prints of the maps. These can be bought from his Etsy retailer, ForsakenMaps. World of Warcraft is been in a difficult spot in recent times. 

The reception to the end the World of Warcraft WotLK Classic has been mixed. Blizzard remains in the middle of the sexual assault allegations and lawsuits from the year before. But the communities surrounding Warcraft and Blizzard can still find things to work together on like amazing fan creations like those of Nomadichedgehog. World of Warcraft is set to unveil its next expansion in April, so Nomadichedgehog has plenty of time to map the rest of Earth prior to 10.0's debut.
