Location names

BadhronBadhron Member, Alpha Two
I have accepted a quest to gather daffodils in the "riverlands" but when I look at the map there is no hint as to where that is.
I think it would be great for the map to have location names that show the area names.

    This is from the perspective of a completely new player by the way, I have close to no experience with mmo's but for me the clarity of what to do, where something is and so on is severaly lacking, so I'm feeling quite confused most of the time.

    As I new player, I encourage you to discover where to find it, explore the world

    Tip: If it is a profession comission (side-quest) for gathering... where are you supposed to find it?
    Q: Did you do the quest that teaches you about gathering and procession in lion's hold or samia's hope?

    The first-time user experience is something that's going to have a lot of love and attention during Betas, but is not going to have much attention during Alpha-2. But it is intended for us to have a very in-depth first-time user experience to introduce players to the number of different systems. They're not going to be super in-depth. We don't believe that first-time user experiences should handhold players through all of the processes and reveal the world, so to speak, but just to give them a shallow touch for these systems so that they understand the concepts and essentially how to navigate.[4] – Steven Sharif

    As a completely new player of MMOs, alpha may not be for you.

    The "riverlands" refers to the current zone (minus the desert and tropics) which is playable in alpha at the moment. I imagine zones will include names on the map at some point.
