map directions good or bad

Post by Mike »

Personally I think no care has been taken into making map coordinates and think they should of been done like this. Anyone agree?

It's a very good idea, Mike!

Most of the left and top of the world is bordered by sea, so growth is mostly possible to right and down. Mike's system allows this.

But whatever system is in use, it would be great to be indicated in the map view.

It does allow for growth, basically when new maps are added to the left move the letter A left a space.. I believe that new maps won't be added to the left in a long time yet. Plus I can't even find the mad coordinates page anymore.. this map should be made more visible to everyone as soon as they are on the forum

The map is at the beginning of the unit list. Here is the link:

I also copied it onto my phone for reference. But perhaps it would be best if it were easier to find...

Yeah, it'd be cool to display on screen when you zoom in on mini map... as for map on forum, I usually just tell people to look at profa's "unit list for mmorpg" ... it's at the top if that list.

Insiders tip: when the current map is completely filled, my plan is to ask creator to expand to the left (I'm excited to start on a New continent ;) ) ... no idea if he'll do it, or if he had another plan... but that's what I'm hoping for :)

EDIT - aw you beat me... great minds think alike though I guess LOL ;)

Maybe all the maths teachers in the world have a good example now while teaching coordinates. :-D

Please note the map does not have the new maps on it, but you should be able to figure it out. Also, use the /pos command if you don't know where you are ;)
