Make it a little more dynamic...have an ini or xml file that maps the corresponding "You have entered <blah blah>" to the proper ini and image file name. Or even just one xml file to track all the ini infoz and just points to file names...

<Zones>
   <Zone>
    <Name>Ak'anon</Name>
    <File>Ak'anon.jpg</File>
    <Physical>
      <X1>69</X1>
      <Y1>75</Y1>
      <X2>319</X2>
      <Y2>323</Y2>
    </Physical>
    <Logical>
      <X1>0.0000</X1>
      <Y1>2000.0000</Y1>
      <X2>-1000.0000</X2>
      <Y2>1000.0000</Y2>
    <Logical>
    <Text>You have enetered Ak'Anon</Text>
  </Zone>
   <Zone>
    <Name>Butcherblock</Name>
    <File>Butcherblock Mountains</File>
...
...
    </Zone>
...
</Zones>

But would be nice to extend this - ie when you see the You died message, it records the last know loc for the zone you were in and when you zone back into that map file your corpse gets it's own marker =)

Or, allow setting points that are recorded in the xml and can be given popup tool tip that shows the note you entered in a dialog.

Still, this whole thing is a good idea that in the end would be regarded as an exploit on this server based on their current rules...might have been legal on live, I did the same kind of thing using the mapquest file format...but these guys don't care what anyone else thinks, if it's going to help you and make the game more fun and more like classic experiences for the people who know how to do more than install software from a CD, generally it's forbidden, lol.

I asked in the "Petition / Exploit" folder whether this was a violation of the rules on 11-30-2010 (yes, 2010). I followed up on it again earlier this month after seeing this thread. I offered to refrain from sharing it if they preferred me not to. Despite quite a few views, nobody has had anything to say. I'm guessing they either don't care or they want to reserve the decision for later.
