Suggestion: add a map key to the live maps listed on the website

Post by John__Smyth »

On the Live maps (particularly the preservation one), there are map icons but no map key. For new players, having a map key could be kinda useful since not all the icons are self evident. Not just that, but the original RSC had a map key. Here is the key. The map also wouldn't need a really weird configuration or be some strange fancy web-app. The original RSC just had it as an image alongside the map. Here is the link to that (Scroll down to how to play). If all these reasons haven't convinced you, and you guys think it would take too long for some random unforeseen reason. Remember: this is just some basic html you would need to change, I made a mock-up with the preservation live map's phtml file. For all these reasons I think you guys should add a map key.

TL;DR
  • The original RSC had a map key
  • New players might not know what all the icons mean
  • The key already exists and so does a possible layout for the page
  • Actually adding the map in won't take too long

I'm not sure what it would look like to add a key, since the map is already kind of "full screen". It might be best placed in the ocean somewhere, replacing the image, instead of putting the map key under the map
