I think it's very usefull too to have the connection layer.. but maybe it's possible to split it into multiple layers.. let's say for each continent one layer with an option to show all.. since we can zoom in/out now at the map (also on the world map?) it should go well even with all connections showed... Or maybe add hotspots to the connection points and show the connections to other places on roll-over.. but sure I would miss the connection layer.. I'm still new to Norrath and didn't see all areas (where is the carpet station in BM eg?
).
