On the door of a big white delivery truck:
Wartsila Lips, Inc.”
That’s one product I don’t think I’d want to put onto my lips. There were no graphics of any kind on any part of the truck; just the company name and address on the door. So I have NO idea what was in that truck, and I’m too tired to be curious and Google the company name.

Speaking of the Big G, Google has used its Correction: A cool company called Int2e has used Google Maps technology to start mapping the World of Warcraft. Neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeat. They’re planning on mapping other MMORPGs, too. I wonder if they’ll do Runescape, or if they’ll skip it because there’s no virtual-to-real-world currency exchange? (Man oh man, if I could cash in my Runscape gold… hooyah, baby!)

What do you think? I wanna know! Please leave a comment :)

Thanks for the mention Carrie. We’re not actually a part of Google, but use the Google Maps API. Our company int2e ( http://int2e.com ) has created other virtual world Google Maps, such as one for There: http://webapps.prod.there.com/gmap/index.html

Ack! I’m sorry about that, and I’ve credited you guys in my post. Thanks for letting me know!
So… are you going to map Runescape? *grin*

No problem. :)

We’re definitely expanding to other games. Do you know if there’s a way to get high-detail maps of Runescape? If you can find a way to get detailed maps, we could definitely make a site. Perhaps you could ask the Runescape forums or developers if anyone knows of a way.
