    Since the Swerdfield Pastures have seen their latest makeover, turning from the one with The Old Stag & The Thieving Witch into the current zombie-infested wasteland, there has been a new dungeon available from the said area. Before, you could only go to Kingshill or to the Hagastove Grotto from the Swerdfield Pastures, but now you can also access the Old Tomb. However, unlike every other area (be it town, wilderness or dungeon), this one (the Old Tomb) is not seen on the Wolrd Map. Why is that? And also, even if it's been some time, why did we not get any notification of the remake of the Swerdfield Pastures? After all, there were new quests (and implicitly more free Andermant up for grabs), but I only got to see it because the Achievements were just implemented, and had to visit all the places I've been to in the past so that I could check off the respective achievement corresponding to each urban area.

    New Quests
    10 brand new quests have been added to the game. The quests are leading your character
    from Grimford to the Swerdfield Pastures.

    Well, something's fishy... I started playing exactly before R139 (thus the announcement for that one was the first of this kind I've seen, and the first update I had to download), and the Pastures were still the olden ones. I did see something at one point about us being able to customize more characteristics when creating a character, but nothing about the rest written in that announcement above. So... how could that have been R137-138 if the Pastures were unchanged for me until the achievements were implemented? Something on my end?

    But still, the Old Tomb not being marked on the World Map is still a problem, isn't it?

    hmmm i dont think it should be put in map because it has no travel stone (wich allows to go from 1 stone to another)

    God... I feel so stupid now. Indeed it has no Travel Stone, which is why it isn't on the map. But still, it's a dungeon like any other (in the sense that it is part of the game), so it kinda should get a TS and be marked, IMO.

    Its same in Atlantis Above Water tho. You cant travel there, partly because the lore doesnt allow a TS to 'travel back in time'

    The game mechanic(norm) has always been that any transit point from one map to another is marked with the yellow arched door symbol. The absence of one at the Old Tomb is a programming graphic oversight as it is the only one in the game not marked as such. At least to my memory it's the only one.

    In any case it's not a crippling error as it's easy to locate and the quest description that sends you there is easy to follow.
