you use to be able to se where players were on the world map when they were online but not anymore and that should be brought back it really helped with my exploring as I am looking for a good spot to start a town

When the feature was initially available, we were using a different mapping plugin. As our world map is so large, the plugin contributed to a large portion of the server lag. We have since then switched to a different map provider (renders the map differently and reduces lag). The map markers are not natively supported by our current mapper and we are working on getting a substitute. We hope to see the feature return in the near future.

Oh cool yield, i thought it was gone for good.
