    Control+Right-click on the map for KB/M controls, position the cross-hair and press R2+R1 for gamepad. Then put <flag> in chat to create a link other people can click on & open their map with the flag in that spot.

    10 posts per page is only the default setting; it is bad, and you should feel bad if you haven't changed it.

    ^ this is horribly complicated and why this game shouldn't be played with a controller lol.

    <pos> will drop a flag at your current location.. To drop one somewhere else on the map is... shift + left click? ctrl? Something like that it takes about 5 seconds then you type <flag> into chat like he said.

A Veteran MMO gamer knows that the experience of the game is stretched out over years, and if crafted properly, it leaves players with some of the best gaming experiences to be found anywhere.

    Not really complicated at all -hit square and pull up the map, move the cross hair to a point, click L1+R1- a flag pops up on the map and <flag> appears in the chat log. All you have to do is hit enter on your keyboard, you don't have to type anything.
