Cross Finder

A few days ago my character died and it took me 5 minutes of searching for the trollsbane cross, since it was moved. This inspired me to write this suggestion.

When you die, you get the message "You have died, go to the YELLOW CROSS to get revived". Using the difference in co-ordinates, the server should be able to work out what path (obviously not through obsticals) the ghost must take to reach the nearest cross.

There should be either an arrow showing the direction, or a simple "CROSS" command, which tells you "The nearest cross is to the south west" or so...

This would help newbies who have no idea what the not-so-yellow cross looks like, and where it is...

disadvantage: that might show a cross, that the char still should not know, because it is in undiscovered land.

The Client does not know where the next cross is.

We don't have much crosses...

It should check the co-ordinates of each cross, minus them from the current co-oridate of the player, and the smallest answer will be the nearest cross...

Isn't THAT hard on the server.. just some simple negation...

It is up to the towns or organisations to give information about their "yellow cross".

On the newbie island such a thing will be shown to all newbies so they will know how it looks like.

I am strictly against such a cross finder system for the reason Korm already mentioned.
