    So I frequently try to find a place on the map, but it's so big (and amazingly well-designed) that it's hard to find somewhere without spending significant time looking. So I say, introduce a Search bar on the map. Basically you could search, say, "Aldorei Valley," and the results would come up. Also, say you spelled it "Aldroi Valley," it would say "Do you mean Aldorei Valley?" You would click yes, and it would take you to that spot on the map. I think this would just make looking for a specific place much easier and convenient, what do you guys think?

    Your pole has an error ^^

    Anyway, I think they use Overviewer? Its not coded by them and would require a rework to add things in (same case if they used Dynmap) and if they did this to accommodate such a feature, if an update came out for the map they use, it would break it most likely and require fixes which can take up time.

    Whilst a nice feature, you can get an in-game map (turn entities off and such) which shows names or make waypoints.

    I'd say that's pretty unnecessary, as most players will get oriented to the layout of the map after playing for a while. I know new players won't have that experience, but I know the map and don't really play all that much either.

    Invalid feedback.

    Good idea.
    Would be great QOL.
    It may not be possible with the program we're running for the map rn though.
    It isn't ours.

    Thing about QOL is it takes second priority to content and bug fixes.
    So we'll be waiting,

    It actually wouldn't be that hard of a feature to implement, and most big open source projects won't significantly alter their formatting without significant time notice.

    Getting an in-game map shouldn't be what people think of when they first log in, frankly. I agree in the sense that the map needs to be more user friendly.

    (Note, I am neutral about this suggestion)

    Personally, I still think it really isn't necessary, even if it is easy/medium-easy to implement, like colin said.
    If you are looking for something not marked on the map (Like Aldorei), just look at the Wynncraft Wiki, as it shows every known major location and their coordinates.

    (Though the spell check part seems harder to implement)

    Idk it's just useful. I like to know where everything is, and a search bar, even if it's unnecessary, if new players like the idea, just implement it for new player's sakes. It'll just be easier on them that way.
