3.16.0	This map has been removed from the Atlas. This map can no longer drop. You can still use your existing maps in the Map Device. You can trade your existing maps to vendors. You will receive other maps that are still in the Atlas.
3.5.0	The Atlas of Worlds has been shuffled. Most maps have changed tier and location within the Atlas. Many map bosses have also shifted around. Some have been retired and replaced!
3.1.0	The entire Atlas has been reworked. Many map names have changed, as have their balance, tier and position on the Atlas. Many maps have also had their boss fights swapped or completely reworked. The rules used to generate monsters in endgame maps have been significantly reworked and rebalanced around the rate at which we expect players to reliably clear out the map. In general, narrow, linear maps will contain fewer total monsters than maps with complex layouts. We will be closely monitoring and adjusting the balance of this change and expect to make further changes and improvements over time. The tier and bosses of Crystal Ore Map and Excavation Map were swapped; Crystal Ore Map (War for the Atlas) replaced [Undocumented This change was not documented by any official sources. It was discovered through player testing or datamining.]
2.4.0	Name changed from Tunnel Map to Crystal Ore Map. Most existing maps have been revamped to have more balanced monster composition, layouts, boss fights and rewards.
0.9.11	Added 45 Map areas, each with its own boss.
