It's been 24 hours since the Galaxy Editor has been in our hands and a lot of stuff happened on SC2Mapster. Our traffic exploded and we've seen people from all around the globe coming in asking and answering questions, working on maps or tweaking the editor and some just looking at what's possible.
The Galaxy Editor is really powerful and we hope to see many great map done from the community!
