    The lack of maps in any RPG rarely makes sense unless the land is completely virgin and has never been explored by a meaningful number of even vaguely intelligent people. This is not the world this game takes place in. My character could, and would, learn the layout of the major landmarks and cities fairly quickly - ESPECIALLY important ones.

    There's no reason to not include an in game map and expect it as basic functionality in an MMO unless randomly generated, unexplored terrain is the main focus and a common theme. This is not, in any way, applicable to SOTA.

    Also, an in-game map doesn't exist because making one takes time and resources to iterate and QA. Didn't they buy the sotamap website? I just don't get why it wasn't on the list of basic functionality.

    The map simulates the sense of surrounding you have in real life.

    No map makes your character feel less a part of the world
