Alright guys, stop your bickering. I'm going to be posting a legitimate problem now that i'm experiencing and i'm sure others are.
The map is poorly made, not in terms of detail but in terms of usefulness.
Now before I even continue i've put a lot of time into this server and into how to address this situation, it is not a bash but merely some advise, do not be quick to disagree just because it's something negative. I'm sure some people will disagree even if they actually agree, keep personal insults to yourself as i'm trying to help the server grow.

Here is the map of what was explored.
So today I spent countless hours exploring with great haste in search of a decent respawn/fun respawn/lore/quests. I decided to go to the new city that the boat NPC was sailing too. I must say I am extremely disappointed. After X hours of exploring, almost every single place I entered was a
complete waste of time. There is only 3 areas of this entire place i explored that are somewhat "worth it" but still questionable (and extremely boring mind you.) A crusader helmet quest (the quest itself lasts about 20 seconds.) A noble armor quest ( I liked this one ), And a zombie hunting spawn/quest area. (This zombie spawn is by far one of the best spawns that i've found on this server and it is enjoyable to hunt) The map in the zombie area is open and not a cluster fuck which I enjoy. (it's a replica of underground Thais cyclops). Every other single place was extremely pointless.
Every spawn I explored was very crappy, every chest/barrel I opened was useless. Not even a quest for some gems in the crazed beggar area (Aren't they hoarders? why would they not be hiding gems in one of those barrels? Small quests like that actually promote players to open objects and what-not. I've spent so long in your respawns opening chests and barrels in hopes of maybe 1k? a notebook? some gems? food? anything???????? but it's always empty. Countless hours of opening empty barrels and finding terrible spawns is an ultimate blow to motivation.
Every place you see on this map except the marks on the map have nothing worth any time. Actually there is a book in one of the villages that say the wheat is ready to harvest. So if you're bored you can bake some bread.
Why are some of those spawns there? why is there a cave with 1 dragon and 1 dragon lord over here? Why is there a cave with 8 trolls this far out and on a 4x exp ot? There's a dragon spawn with dragons so spaced out it's like 30 seconds of running before you find a new monster. A bog raider spawn with 5 bog raiders.. You can't throw in a dead human with some lore and maybe a life ring in his body? Why is there a pirate spawn with like 20 total pirates spread way the fuck out, with over 100 empty barrels and chests and boxes? It's just a waste of time and anti-fun.
what i'm trying to say is you need to spice up your map. I love how huge it is, but it's so useless and random. Why the hell would anyone run this far from town to enter a cave with 10 trolls, or 5 bog raiders and crazed beggars, or wild warriors, or a crappy dragon spawn with ONE dl? As of now that entire part of the map is useful only for crusader helmet and zombie spawn.
I don't even want to explore anymore after today. I've mentioned it with my friends a bit and it seems to be a common topic so i figured i'd bring it up in hopes that you actually can fix some of these absolutely useless places, or create better places in the future
