I think this is a great idea.
Yes
No
I think this is a great idea.
plz implement this
It sounds a really neat idea, but a bitch to code.
Lovely idea, i like it very much.
Just one thing to add that has been forgotten by OP and all the ones giving advice: The durability of the maps. As you use the same map over and over, it will become tattered and incapable to read. Or some other way of decay.
How about scavanging a compass?

Much better than the coordinate system ..
a maping skill would be awesome. Would encourage ppl to explore the world.
Using Co-ords isn't hard for me i already know how to read using geographic/ etc maps. But i like this idea a lot it fits the feel of the game well. Using the standard everyday mmo mini map would only take from the game and wouldn't fit the realistic survival style that there trying to create. Seal of approval lol
Looks like 95% of the forum readers are agreeing with a new map system.
Yeah, so let's get Jordi to do it. lol
A very, very good idea. I would make some additional suggestions.
- I would make it so that you have to have the skill active so that you had to have your map out in order to map
- The higher the skill the more things you can do. Low skill, produce basic maps... as you go up in level, you can do additional things. Icons at a level, text at a level, etc. Would make the skill a bit more challenging and put explorers/map makers more in demand.
