| I like this idea alot. Sure I liked being able to see where I was on the WoF but there were reasons why it was changed. You may all remember the lag during the fair, or even just the lag in general. The WoF was part of the reason it lagged. Thieves refreshed the page to see who had the most gold in hand. This is hard on the servers. A table of 300,000+ rows had to be searched. When you have 10, 20, 30+ people trying to refresh you can imagine the strain. This also applies to people wanting to see where they are located in the WoF. As soon as you check a listing its searching through all those rows. The choice was to either have a fast game, or be able to see where you were located in the WoF, so being fast was chosen. This option seems plausible because not as many people would use it, but the option is there. So lag can be reduced still, and you can view your location. This idea gets 2 thumbs up from me.
