Alright, two issues related to the removed maps near Veins.

Ve_fild05

1) This map is supposedly removed, but the access portals to it are still there. Portals on ve_fild03 lead to this map, as well as the random portal on ve_fild06.

2) The Guillotine Cross job change quest NPC was removed off of ve_fild05 (which we have finally found the location of), but there is still one NPC that is still on the map that probably should be changed. Position is 257, 130 name is Wincing Old Man.




Ra_fild11

Another map that was removed. The west exit from rachel was removed, and there is absolutely nothing on the map itself, but you can still reach the map from ve_fild01.

where did the GX npc go?

[Doddler]

Just south outside rachel, very top right corner of that map.

Ra_fild11 is still on kRO Sak so I am not quite sure about that...

[Hrothmund]

what was the general purpose for removing all those maps anyway? reducing server load, re-implementing later with higher mobs etc.

Umbala dungeon was removed because no one went there dunno about the rest.

Umbala dungeon was removed because no one went there dunno about the rest.

That's the story with all of them. They fixed by removing maps, rather than addressing the reasons nobody used the maps. I kinda liked the layout of umbala dungeon, the monsters and spawns just sucked.

Just because they're bad at doing something doesn't mean we should be!

Seriously, it was on the list of removed maps, they removed the monsters from it, there are no portals at all on the map (0 reason to go to it), removed from the world map, and the portals that lead to ra_fild11 were removed from the minimaps of adjacent maps. I'm pretty certain it's supposed to be removed.

As to why, I think it's simple. There were already enough zones to level in for their intended levels. Making more areas with the same monsters doesn't do anything except spread out players across more maps, or make things confusing.
