Something that would be great would be in /map, where you would get a linked version of the map of Potterworld-- would be a version where you move in-game, the icon moves in the map. This would help when exploring to see where you are going and is just fun to watch your character move around in the game! If you can already get where your character is in the game with /map, it doesn't seem too much more complicated to make a version where the icon moves around at will.

If not possible through in-game, you can even have it link to your forum account, which is linked to your in-game character, and it can track your character through a linked forums account. It seems like something that would beneficial to many players and could help people understand the map and scale of it a bit more!

I love this idea! It is difficult when exploring because you don't know if you are going the right way, because you can only see your location when u entered /map. This idea would be very helpful, but since I am not a Staff, I can't comment on how this would be implemented, but I would enjoy this being added!

I agree that it's much easier if the player's head was on the map and moved in real-time whenever the player moved. This would be loads better instead of having to do /map to get an updated link to check your location every time that you get lost.

I know that Dynmap has this feature, but I guess it isn't compatible with what Potterworld is doing with multiple worlds? No idea. It seems like PW is using Overviewer - after looking it up, it doesn't seem to support the idea that you're presenting right out of the box, but seems like it could be possible with it.

Yeah! Lots of places have winding roads and paths and if you take a wrong turn, you're done for. This would help prevent this and make sure you stay on the right path.
