Links would be to simelar pages...?!? (Numbers for PoK-books are just figurative and not actual locations)

Jentraal A Shissar Disciple Join Date: Aug 2002 Server: Luclin Posts: 115	I would have a generic menu sorting the zones by letter. Something like this: Code: ZONE CONNECTIONS: A \| B \| C \| D \| E \| F \| G \| H \| I \| J \| K \| L \| M \| N \| O \| P \| Q \| R \| S \| T \| U \| V \| W \| X \| Y \| Z ... then if you press a letter like "W" it would bring up all zones starting with "W". Yes, this would be more work, but it would solve the problem of having mega-long lists of zones to navigate through. An example of a zone would look something like this: Code: ZONE CONNECTIONS: A \| B \| C \| D \| E \| F \| G \| H \| I \| J \| K \| L \| M \| N \| O \| P \| Q \| R \| S \| T \| U \| V \| W \| X \| Y \| Z ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Zone: West Commonlands Adjacent Zones: East Commonlands, Kithicor Forest, Befallen Continent: Antonica Monster Level: 6-30 Known Mobs: ... Known NPCs: ... Indoor/Outdoor: Outdoor The Letter menu should be visible at all times for swift navigation. I don't think you would have to make links for the Adjacent Zones, but you could if you wanted to. Just depends how lazy you want the user to be. __________________ Jentraal Squishypants - 70 ROG - 598 AA
