By now I thought all the old awesome maps from the Starcraft 1 days would be remade? For example this one was remade http://www.sc2mapster.com/maps/lurker-individual-defense/ but I can't happen to find the download link. Another one I'd like to see is the Dragon Ball Z/Diablo RPGs. Those were pretty fun too.
All these maps are now held Server-side so blizzard no longer allows Copyrighted materials aka DBZ or any other trademarked based map, and there is a Diablo 1 RPG in the making.
I keep saying it, because people keep asking why their aren't and projects of such.
And truly we dont know what maps have and haven't been banned, but blizzard has banned a few maps.
It doesnt hurt to give someone the facts, before they start their project... Better to know the risk before you take them its called not being a dick to people.
Also I dont remember whos making it, or how to check the progress, i was invited to a private showing about 5 months ago. soo yeah i dont remember much about it. it looked perfect like the first Diablo game.
You said you don't know, yet you present it as a fact. Most likely there isn't a DBZ map because finishing good map is generally not an easy task (and I haven't seen much love for remakes from experienced mappers), not because blizzard prohibited us from making a DBZ map.
I said I dont know what maps have been banned, all we know is that some have been banned for Copyright Reasons.
I merely present facts from The ToS, not saying that blizzard will ban it, just that the mapper runs the risk of his account being banned.(most likely not permanently)
It's just that your first post came off as "Nobody makes DBZ maps because we're not allowed to make DBZ maps". I don't know of anyone who was instantly banned for publishing map with copyrighted material. I know of a person who got a warning from blizzard and had to remove and reupload his map because he used trademarked music in it, but I think we can agree that there is difference between being banned and being warned and asked to solve issues you're having. And there are also some maps that are using music from other games and are perfectly fine, so at this point we just don't know what's on blizzards mind.
What I want to say is that it feels like you're scaring people off for nothing. It isn't as bad ToS make it look.
If someone gets scared from a post saying that blizzard can no longer allow copyrighted material, then they dont have the stomach to take the risk in the first place lol, not that its a major risk. but if the map ever because in the top 3 pages it would deff get banned until a complete overhaul was preformed.
I am a major fan of DBZ Trbiute, but i would rather a mapper not lose his account over something as stupid and menial as trademark infringement. Thats all, as long as I have told them the risk, then I know I have done all I can to help them. But if anyone needs help working on a project like this feel free to give me a PM, just dont ask me to publish it, because I will have to refuse you.

There are no download links, as maps are stored on the servers. Go search for the map names in the Custom Games section.
@Taintedwisp: Go
Why do you keep on saying that? Do you know of any incident where map was removed because it used copyrighted name?
@ScorpSCII: Go
I wish EU had access to NAs maps, I feel like they have a lot more of different maps than we do.
@Hooplaa: Go
The only 100% sure way to play a map you want to play is to make it yourself =D
@DuckyTheDuck: Go
I think the same situation. NA has it's own maps and EU has theirs. I would definitely like it if we had access to each others maps.
@DuckyTheDuck: Go
Me making my own maps not gonna happen. Don't have enough time. I guess I will have to wait it out. lol
@Taintedwisp: Go
Really? Anywhere I can see the progress of the Diablo RPG map?
