Guess suggesting making maps OOCly available for newbies.. Poor newbies.
But the real layout of the city is IC information, and part of the fun of playing a new game is going through the 'exploring phase'. Newbies have 2 sets of maps avalible to them right out of the door, and another becomes avalible once they get on the grid.
So, what exactly are you suggesting we do, and why? Tell the newbies to read the help and the website? I mean I understand providing information for the newbie, but sometimes they gotta take just a little bit of initiative. Besides, learning to take some initiative will go far to helping them in the game.
