Walk To and GMCP

It has come to our attention that there were a few aspects of our pathfinding system that were in effect that should not have been.

WALK TO supporting numeric room IDs was an oversight and not intended. We supply identifying numbers through GMCP but this is to support features for the Nexus client such as the graphical map. Preserving a strong RP atmosphere is constantly one of our top priorities, and is why we've always stuck to restricting this in the past; breaking the world down into a series of numbers both serves to eliminate the scope of the world and undermines the importance of active exploration.

The personal LANDMARKS system is intended to fill the only role that we believe this kind of thing has a place for in Achaea, which is noting key locations that you may wish to return to quickly in the future.

Penned by My hand on the 5th of Ero, in the year 724 AF.
