Account Map

Well...I have 4 PvE characters.
Sometimes I wish there is an account based map that displays place where characters in that account have visited; along with current character map(you can switch back and forth).

That way, I cound easily find what town I have missed with my new character since my other character has already visited there before.
Furthermore, I could easily locate new town with my new character(towns like grotto, and citadel)

anyways...just an idea ^^

Might be a good idea. Say like an overlay of different transparent colours (red/blue/green/etc) would indicate areas visited for each character. Surely it would have to be made optional as in a button/checkbox that you click in order to display the overlays.

I'm all for it.

/signed sounds like a fairly good idea and would make things a lot easier to know where to get for each character.

Well, all my characters have fully explored the map, save for a few obsolete corners on a couple of them. However i agree with this idea, since it is harmless and beneficial to those who need it.

i like in FF11 that you can buy the map of an area. it might be nice to do that.

it seems like a good idea, but it kind of would taken some of the plot on where your actually supposed to go, like in the quests to find the other outposts, your supposed to find your way through the quest not know the trails on where it is, it's not even necessary to get it, stop being lazy and switch on to your other character and see what town you missed and where it is

LoL
You are very funny individual.
First of all, it's an idea suggestion...there is no need for personal attack.

Second, what difference it will make...since other characters have finished the game, people will know the story and plots anyways.

You said knowing places may affect "plots on where you are actually supposed to go"...then why do you suggest me to just switch the character and look at the map? Isn't it basically same as looking at an account map(if ANet implents this)?
Switching character to look at the map is "tedious", since you already explored the area with other characters....nothing to do with LAZY.

About "laziness"(nothing to do with idea), check your own reply here:

How about YOU stop being LAZY and just walk to ascalon settlement lol.

would be nice if one can pay some gold at the last town to buy share map with other characters, this way one won't have to explore the entire GW again.
