I think this is not a good idea for p1999, the point is to have no maps... for anyone. And i dont want to hear, Well hey hows me being able to see everything going to kill your fun just dont use the maps. But it actually does kill everyone elses fun because now you can go around places and see everything and have an unfair advantage. If this wasnt an MMO and we all played single player games and just talked about it together id say do whatever you want.
just my thoughts on it.

Well I think it's a good idea. Maps aren't classic, sure, but what does it hurt to have have them? Nothing. Nothings stopping a person from playing in windowed and/or with multiple displays. You know what else wasnt classic? Having a GPU with 4 separate digital video outputs that could be used in perfect tandem-- windows didn't accommodate such things until fairly recently. So while you sit here on the forums whining about people not using maps, the entire POPULATION is using third party maps via the wiki. This just takes a little bit of the guesswork out of it, if you're unfamiliar with loc (which I am, Ive been playing the game since velious and I've never mastered it)
I fail to see how you rightfully can claim this can ruin other peoples fun. Because people can somewhat confidentaly explore the corner of a zone, and have a visual representation your game is being ruined? I feel like you probably have some serious developmental issues if this is a real thing for you.
I can't possibly fathom how many people back the idea of "some other guy having a real time map ruins my immersion. Must simply be an organized trolling. Kudos.
Not everyone plays the game for immersion, in fact I'd argue most people are simply addicted ot the genre (yes, p2p games are formatted in such a way to keep players hooked, thus paying monthly) and are just romanticizing their inability to face the fact that 15 years has passed and they're no longer the youthful virile "explorer" they once were.
Just my take on all these 25-40 year old men whining about immersion, anyway!
