It can be difficult understanding HP references

This might be just me, or a little silly and minute, but I absolutely love discovering places on the map and going 'omg this is the graveyard from the goblet of fire' or 'oh wow it's Goodrick's hollow' etc. I could be a casual, but sometimes it can be difficult understanding ones like the house at (6200, 8800) being the one the Dursleys escape to in book 1, and honestly, to this day I have no idea what the Braybrooke manors are a reference to, or the house at (2080, 1150). Some of them don't even appear in the discovery journal so I don't even know where to begin. Perhaps there should be some form of thread on the website, or just an explanation in the discovery journals to hint what those are a reference to if that doesn't infringe on copyright laws? I just think it could be really awesome to understand what form of easter eggs I am looking at once I find them.

On a slightly unrelated note, I absolutely love those little side quests that give a nod to the main harry potter plot (Like the philosopher's stone, or the chamber of secrets), and I think that there should absolutely be more of them! It's just fun to re-live it through the server :)

Warner and JKR are after many fan made games lately. Potterworld had to change the names and references because of a C&D.

Garry's mod servers weren't so lucky as the HP gamemode itself was removed and any server running it or even mentioning Hog's warts in it's name was blacklisted from the server browser.

Hello hello @OfekObia22 !

We appreciate the time you put in to create this suggestion! Unfortunately, this is something that is not possible for us to do due to the C&D letter - we want to take all the precautions we can to ensure we do not violate copyright. Additionally, the Potterworld server has a lot of its own lore that we have created over time that doesn't equate to canon lore.

Regardless, thank you for the suggestion and we hope to see more from you in the future! I hope you have a magical day!
