Since the initial surge when the plots got snapped up really quickly, there has been a slowdown in the land grab. Work seems to be going on very nicely on the areas that have been claimed but there are still a few unclaimed areas. Regions 4, 10, 25, 26, 27 and 30 are still up for grabs.
Some people may want to get involved but feel its too late and they have missed the boat. Let me assure you its not. Its never too late to get into the project and there are no entrance requirements except being able to work in a team environment and have a willingness to improve your mapping skills. So if you're new it doesn't matter. There is help and advice available and its always given in the right spirit.
That having been said there are a few industry pros, community leaders, challenge winners and mapping wizards whose names are notably absent. No pressure at all RobA, Pyrandon, Arcana, HandsomeRob, Anna, Publius and many more.
