I've seen a lot of excitement for the upcoming map update, and to be honest, I don't really get it. I usually forget the map exists half the time, so I'm expecting the update to be more of a "oh, that's cool." than anything super exciting.
Is it the chance to set lair location? The lore potential? Just the fact that it's something we know is coming?
Don't get me wrong, I'm happy that people are excited. I'm not trying to complain here, but to understand why people are so hyped for the map update (and maybe increase my own hype a little.)
So why are you excited for the update? And how are you hoping to use the updated map in the future?

Probably, yes. I bet it's like 95% chance we will be able to do it with this update (and I can't wait for it, I wanna back to the Starwood Strand, this place is much more magical then the Observatory imo)
Also, they'll probably add more locations to explore => new lore, that's always cool
And there are many more things which could be added with a new map

We don't really get the hype :D New art will be nice as will being able to change lair lcoation but we aren't expecting a major new feature with loads of new stuff to do.
We hope that some people won't be disappointed when it's finally released :D

We're desperate for more official lore, methinks

well, i am, anyways. one of my clans, their job is to explore and take out rescue missions everywhere in sornieth, from halfway up the behemoth to some weird underground cave in dragonhome.
getting a whole bunch of information about places i'm mainly basing off of one image of a coli venue and, like, ten lines per flight territory would be a massive boost 'fer me.
also please i wanna stay in the abiding boneyard

hype is because its something that's been wanted for a very long time, and because of the "landscape" hint, we think its coming this year for the anniversary. you're right, no one uses the map, and that's why we're excited- the current map isn't very interactive, and you can't really explore the world of sornieth at all. some ideas that have been floated around (including the ability to set your lair location) include a properly interactive map, an adventure mode (although a fair chunk of people think that's no longer in the cards), being able to visit things in different flights and domains- essentially, something more akin to neopets map of neopia. none of this is confirmed to be the case, but the reason the map update is exciting is because it's likely to bring with it more lore and interaction, whether that be from the get go or over time.

I think it's just getting to see the world in more detail? For me it just brings the game to life a lot more as well as giving many new lore ideas.
Lore potential for me. A bunch of my lore is centered around the map update and the Earth ancients, neither of which have been released. This puts a hold on most of my lore, which sucks lol

Some people generally love maps because they cannot have enough. Plan maps at different scales, section maps, fun!

Lore stuff I suppose, as I like to work with canon with my lair, I'd like to see new locations and if I want to make any connections to them. As well as maybe getting a bit more to whats going on.
