As many of you probably have noticed over time, the exploration system
never seemed to work quite right. Sometimes exploring like mad didn't
seem to boost your rank, while at the same time we had an unnaturally
high number of top level explorers compared to other realms. It's been
on the backburner for a while to fix it and now it's working properly.
Unfortunately, one of the problems with exploration is that the
exploration maps were not being saved correctly and had to be wiped out.
The second problem is that scores were inflated. For example, one person
was listed as having explored over 300% of the explorable area, which
obviously makes no mathematical sense.

Thus there are three fixes here.
1) Exploration in general works.
2) Scores were adjusted down to make sense. If your score was twice as
high as someone else's then it still is twice as high. The proportional
value of all player exploration scores was retained.
3) Rather than wiping out everyone's exploration, which would have been
lame, I expended the extra effort to build exploration maps that reflect
your current exploration score. I will post on the areas credited below.

One thing to note, there is always a question as to what is explorable.
I will describe that here. The newbie areas do not count as explorable.
Storerooms for shops do not count (which is not the case in other
realms, but I think that is lame to count). I'm pretty sure houses don't
count.

As for your exploration map, below is the order that areas were
credited. So if you have a high score like "a Messenger of the Fates"
then you only need to explore the last couple of areas here to top off
your exploration effort. And if you are somewhere in the middle then you
need to explore the last half of the list. Or you could just start at
the bottom and work your way up.
