Obviously enough because you add an entry into WorldMapArea but open a continent up ?

EDIT:
Checking the dbcs a little closer and reading between the lines (....), you did add an entry into WorldMapContinent. Thus, that is not the issue. 100 100 100 100 is incredibly little though. Increase values.

EDIT2:
Did you edit WorldMapoverlay.dbc ?

Worldmapoverlay.dbc is for showing areas of the map as they get explored, Maruum maps only have an entry in WorldMapContinent and they work fine.

Stupid Questions:

1.) Are the Maps in .blp format?  
2.) Are they named correctly?  Should be Lichthafen1.blp, Lichthafen2.blp...

1.) Yes i convert the pngs to blp files(BLP2/DXT3)
2.) Yes name the blp Lichthafen1.blp to Lichthafen12.blp and place it in Interface/WorldMap/Lichthafen

I messed also around with that. And at this point Maruum split into 2 patches. World and models in data patch and interface DBCs and all other stuff in a local one.
