VidiotMaps.com was originally created by Mapmaster255 as a repository of annotated maps and other information for various MMOs, including Asheron's Call, Asheron's Call 2, Biosfear, City of Heroes/Villains, Everquest, and Horizons. Due to a job change, Mapmaster255 sold the site to Sapph, Beef Cake, ewokspy, and Lord Nikon in April, 2006. The site was relaunched to only cover City of Heroes/Villains, and included interactive maps with selectable criteria for map objects, printable maps, and in-game map overlays. The sister site, Badge-Hunter.com (formerly Badge-Whore.com), was used for tracking badges among characters.
As Sapph, ewokspy, and Lord Nikon gradually left the site, Blazing Imp and Blondeshell were brought on-board. Blondeshell released the first major overhaul of the printable maps in May, 2008, and eventually was responsible for all map-related updates. Due to a job change at the end of 2011, Beef Cake was no longer able to devote significant time to the site, which left Blondeshell also in charge of all news- and badge-related updates. In mid-September, 2012, mere days after the announcement of City of Heroes' sunsetting, both VidiotMaps and Badge-Hunter were compromised by a security hole in old forum software and went off-line for good. The maps included here are the final versions created for City of Heroes as they would have been in Issue 24.
