I actually like having to memorize a zone. It makes it more personal in a strange way. Like the place is your friend. It makes me MUCH faster when moving through the zone too. The people who get killed in trains or wipes are often the ones who have to use the map to find the exit. But anyway, as the posters above me have mentioned, the maps are only in the cities/noob. The X for group members is also disabled, if you missed that. So make sure you're following yoru buddies or have tracker in case someone gets lost. /loc can be used in those situations, but it's a bit slower to setup and use as opposed to tracking. In 3d zones, the X (or trackers) would do little good. In that case, knowing the zone by memory can be helpful in finding a lost group member.
