Aye its a very neat idea. Hopefully we'll still see well hidden dungeons and no /loc system to trivialize how difficult it is to find them. Pretty sure I read that they werent planning to have a /loc system.

Oh? I don't recall reading that anywhere. I hope so, though.

I hate wandering around adventuring and seeing '/loc of X, please!' shouted out across the landscape.

Have they said anything about an map of any sort? Or are we going to have to rely on spoiler/fansites like "eq atlas" if we want to find a location. I'm all for exploring... and finding out for yourself... but I wouldn't mind having a map feature of some sort.

Been a number of discussions about maps on the official forums but I havent seen a dev response to it as of yet.

Just to point out that there are a lot of Plan A's, and B's being worked on by Sigil. So uncovering dungeons by perception might not be completely out. If you read what Brad says carefully he says they'd like to have it in

On the map thing - I'll try to find Brads ramble on it. Basically came down to he prefers a journal with a generic map and a compass I think. But like a lot of his posts it was hard to tell what he was just discussing as a cool idea and what will actually be in the game

A very interesting concept, I can't help but wonder exactly how they intend to implement it, but it sounds like something that is definantly going to add a new degree of complexity/enjoyment to the game.

The impression I get from that post is that if he had his way there will be no game type maps at all, but some of the devs would like some type of mapping system. I do like the cord idea, and the travel journal. Guess I'll have to actually play the game before I can decide if I really need a mapping system.
