You know what, I generally disagree with the majority of complaints on this board. To be honest though, I actually am not a huge fan of this change. I remember when I first started playing getting to uncover the maps piece by piece, experiencing the amazing landscape and actually having a feeling of discovery. Like muddling about in the Burning Wall for the first time battling Snurbles and being amazed at the natural landscape that was there. Removing that whole part of the experience really disappoints me. I think discovery was a great part of the game, plopping out the whole map kind of discourages that in a sense. I mean, the scenery will still be there for people to experience but the fog seemed like an integral part of the experience to me.

Then again, SE generally knows what they're doing, and I do have all the maps discovered at this point so... Oh well?
