For Feature requests please answer the following

Describe the feature you are requesting:

We really should move the MapTile generation and rendering out of the hands of the region servers and potentially into its own system that can be run once every five minutes to 24 hours. This can handle MapTile generation and updates both in-galaxy and on the website's world map.

Has the feature been implemented by a similar project:

Yes we have been testing this feature currently in Second Galaxy, additionally InWorldz was moving toward it before their closure. It has been proven to work.

What other project similar to Virtual Universe has implemented the feature:

Halcyon, and currently also our proprietary grid architecture
