Alive Inside?
When I was looking at the PZ map, I found a warehouse a little away from everything. It's marked as a POI and it says "ALIVE INSIDE!"

what the heck does that mean? Is it some NPC thing for the future??

I think the 'ALIVE INSIDE' is a reference to some graffiti that is spray painted onto the side of the building that says 'Alive inside' - Of course, until NPCs are in, i doubt theres anything alive in there :3

NPCs used to be in, and will be back in, once they have worked on them again. They broke them a while back, iirc, and took them out. Which is the reason the Tutorial is nolonger available right now. The tutorial used to be you caring for your girlfriend that has been bit (or hurt), and you have to get some stuff for her, while she is laying in bed.

If you look at the big PZ map, you find leftovers of that. Like the POI marker on the <spoiler> where it said "all those firedrills paid off". There are several places that have NPC survivors when the NPCs are back in.

why would you look at a map anyway? that's a solid way of getting bored quickly with the game....

Would you rather get a little bored knowing where everything is, or extremely frustrated not knowing where anything is?

You realize they do make maps in real life, right? Maps are pretty easy to get, it isn't unrealistic in a survival scenario. When NPCs and vast other features are re-added, it won't matter if you know where everything is. It's gonna be action-packed and unpredictable.

Obviously he's not ruining his game as thats the way he wants to play it.

Maps will be in the game eventually - if he wants to look at a map online in the meantime, let him.

If you were living in Muldraugh/West Point IRL, you would have some kind of basic knowledge of your own town. If you were new in town you would probably go look for a map asap.

Because my character is living in that city and unless they introduced an Amnesia perk, my char would have a rough idea of where the Stores are, where industry centers are and where the trailer park is located.

And since the map is always the same, playing it more than once, will eventually teach you the map anyway.

So yeah, if you want to go hardcore, go hardcore and don't look at a map. However i assume my char hasn't been drugged and blindfolded, thrown out in the middle of a city he never visited for laughs and giggles and as result actually has a pretty good idea of what is where.

Just because you are a troll who has a hard time having fun doesnt mean the same for him.

What difference does it honestly make to you if I choose to play under the guidance of a map? FFS. If one is available, why the hell shouldn't I use it?
