I'm new to MUDs and have just brought my character to the stage where he won't get beaten to a pulp by the first creature he encounters...
I'd like to start a discussion of the various methods that players use to map out the worlds they play, so that I can make an informed decision on how to approach navigating a sparkly new world.
What are the predominant methods used? I imagine a lot of players rely on mental maps as they play, but surely most people use maps at some stage...
Do players carefully map as they go along, or is it more efficient and enjoyable to play an area out, and then return to map it later?
I'd greatly appreciate any input.
