Hey people, most of you don't know me and probilly have never heard of me. But I've been making StarCraft maps for 7 years now, since the game was released, although it hasn't gotten me any where it's just been for a bit of fun.
In this time I've created many a crappy maps, many incomplete maps (unreleased) and many maps which have just been stepping stones for something better... Which has finally come.
At last I'm working on huge single map project, RPG style multiplayer map for 3 players which I'm hoping to get out there into the map making community. However before I do this I want to eliminate as many bugs as I can, and bring a quality map to the community. Therefore I need BETA testers as I find other people can find bugs easier than I.
The map I'm creating is currently in an ALPHA stage but with about 15% to do I'll be releasing it as a BETA to friends and anyone who wishes to help with the BETA testing.
I'll explain the map a little:
At the beginning of time man was immortal, he lived along side Gods in a world without rules or boundaries. How ever one named Ascendancy sought supremeacy over his own kind. He offered his peers place below him, but was rejected.
Fueled with anger he cast a spell of mortality on man and spent many years terrorising his creation. Until another stepped up and trapped Ascendancy within a realm of Four Elements.
Forever Ascendancy shall reside here, forever he'll try to escape.
This is the world you were born into.
The map is called Collective of the Four Elements RPG it's actually just a made up story based on a guild I game with.
It features.
So far 6 spells with levels 1 to 3, Fire, Heal, Victim, Andra-Drag, Teleport and Balisk.
2 Mini Games.
4 Towns.
About 20 quests, 4 optional, 1 secret.
3 heroes.
Some of the quests are very unique, and there is a very nice variety.
The game is impossible with 1 player, its designed for multiplayer. It can be very hard, players must "figure" things out, it requires quite a bit of strategy and team support / play.
It's fairly fun, however it'll play for 4 hours +, definately a save and continue map. Anyone with paitence and better spelling than me whom would like to BETA test the map when it's ready for BETA testing please email me with your details and UMS gaming experiance.
It'd also help if you tell me a couple maps you consider to be of high standards in your opinion and why.

If you guys can give email address I'll send it to people when it's ready.
I'd like:
a) fair criticism, and constructive criticism while remembering you're giving an opinion not a fact.
B) spell checking
c) bug finding
d) completion of the map if possible (finish it not just play a for 20 mins and give up saying it sucks)
It'll come with a walkthrough for those who wish to BETA test, which will explain all elements of the game including strategies for each mission etc.

To download, go to the link above.
Please note the following bugs:
Unfortunately I've already found three bugs in this map myself and it's unplayiable unless you delete the 12th player trigger in it.
It's easy to find it's the bottom trigger in the "ALL PLAYERS" catagory, if you delete that this map will work.
Theres also another bug, if you teleport during one of the cinematic parts the triggers wont work so you'll be stuck.
But if you fix the first bug and avoid the second you should be able to play this up to where i've got my saved game wif my friends.
Btw these two bugs have been fixed in an updated version im working on.
Oh 1 more bug, in battle arena if you die then the battle arena wont work nemore, thats also been fixed in an updated version.

Yeh the file I uploaded had too many bugs in it (so i found out) so I'm currently testing it randomly on battle.net to try and get the majority of the bugs that i can find fixed.
HOWEVER
The map takes about 6 hours to complete (not that I've completed it) and you need 3 people otherwise it's too hard at certain points. So it's amazingly hard for me to test since ####heads on battle.net just leave in the first 5 minutes after a 10 minute download of the map .
I know the first 4 hours of the map work fine, i've been fixing the bugs constantly. I'm also fairly sure the ending works fine, because I've tested the end single player alone, only problem is it might not work multiplayer.
Anyway, I'll keep testing and get another less buggy version of the PublicBeta uploaded soon.
