Yes and no. The original world map came out during SOE's reign. Chance has it that SOE also owns Everquest, so SOE using EQ's map as a template to cut time makes sense. DOG retained access to the world map and made such and such changes so that we now have what was linked to in the OP. Doesn't really make sense for DOG to redo the whole thing. At least that's my interpretation.
If only this would solve maps to begin with, basic level paint didn't do anything to make this game better.
