I really like this idea, although somehow I don't think they would put that much time and effort into the map.

"Yeah you have to fill it in as you go."

"Well I kinda need to know where I am going...can I just get a filled in one?"

"Sure you can do this long quest (with no map to help) or pay me 473840823048023 dollars for one."

"OR...I could just go look it up on google...thanks ..bye."

That's all anyone is going to do if maps are not pre-drawn...welcome back to FFatlas, or FFwiki to get the map...

Such a dumb waste of time.

You are talking about FF11 though where some of the maps where ridiculously hard to get, WoW has auto mapping and you don't see people running off to the internet to look up maps because the quests system is designed to send you there and explore the world.

I would quite welcome this, it would show me where I have and haven't' been and I would be more likely to go exploring when I get bored or have nothing to do.

Also the 2.0 maps look a lot more interesting so I expect exploration to be a lot more worthwhile and exciting. (I can only hope that with zones though we don't get ridiculous level 70+ mobs standing in the way)

P.s. This is not real life, we are computer generated "adventurers", I am not an adventurer in real life so don't expect to fill in my own map.
