Remember in FFXI it allowed you to make 4-8ish "notes" per map?

Is there any plans to implement something like that at all in 14?

In any case my suggestion is that they are put in at some time (after core changes are done of course) and maybe they could be implemented something like this:

5 different color markers you are able to use, so that you are able to color code your map which would be useful for gatherers whom mine and log and still allow you to have some colors for quest NPCs, hidden zone in's etc.

Perhaps this can be saved client side so that we may be able to use as many nodes as we want AND can share our node arrangements with other players by copying our particular area's data file and letting them paste it into their folder. I remember they wanted to allow us to use mods at some point (unless this is a Tanaka thing that got cut) but until/if that happens copying a client data file would work.

Maybe this would even help people leave uldah if they could essentially borrow maps from people that are pre-marked to go gather or explore!
