kindof a good idea. But not the best.
Thing is that this will limit the map wherever you go. And people that doesn't like to roleplay need to stay in non areas and others that doesn't like pvp can never stay there for a longer time.
This is just a good way to split up the maps, and the people that's playing the game. The whole open map freedom feeling will dissapear completely.
Not to mention that there would be rules that needed to be set up for the zones. Things that would be allowed, not allowed. How long you'd be able to stay in the zones. Which rules for passing by. Limitations of people in a zone and other stooof.
The mods and admins would probably get alot more work aswell.
If this was meant for the official maps aswell. I don't like this idea at all.
People just need to learn how to share. Nothing complicated really.
But if someone make their own maps it's probably their own will how to have it. But if they let a map out for the public. It will be for everyone yarr?
