I will be posting sets of paths in this thread for our blind players to use in lieu of the maps on the wiki or in-game.

Hi,

Wow those are excellent! I opretiate it!

The hugest problem I kinda have is finding the areas (brittlebranch forest, dunmar planes), etcetera. In my opinion, the citties are small enough to learn and explore relatively well, however, wandering and wandering around looking for a certain area that contains certain herbs/trees/whatever is a bit taxing on rations and to a lesser important extent, time.

Are these areas marked on a map?

I should also point out that, as long as it's within 10 leagues, we can access the map near bye command and get a general direction thanks to the ooc coordinates.

Those areas are not on a map or on the wiki, so as far as wandering around lost goes you are in the same situation that I am in. When I get really bored I start going league-by-league and typing 'survey' just to see what is where. I'm still learning what areas are where.

There's a lot hidden in the world of CLOK so to respect the work of the GMs in that area I'll only be releasing pathing for areas on the map or the wiki, or for special exceptions they approve.

I really like this, but here's my issue on the matter, and I want to make clear that I'm also a blind player, and don't want to be misunderstood as rude.
I love the fact that Elystol is taking the time to do this. However, I think that one has to be careful in that some blind players begin to feel entitled to it. Blindness is not an excuse for not knowing one's way around a game. No, the map on the game isn't very accessible, and personally, to me that's fine. All the more reason to encourage me to explore and learn my way around.
I suggest that only the areas accessible via the visual map be made accessible so there isn't arguement later that there is too much being done to spoil the blind playerbase.
Again, I'm trying not to be rude. I don't want Clok to become yet another victim of blind RPG spoiling, because that's not why I came to play the game.

You know, that's something that didn't cross my mind. I'll agree with that completely. Not only that, but, I believe that we should give a hand. If we know a city and know if it's on the map...then we should map it. There shouldn't, especially if people can help, be only one person doing this, unless they want it that way! :)
