That itself sounds like player-made content in the form of small Dynamic Events called “Treasure Hunts”. This is an exciting and promising progression for this game. It seems to be completely legit, given the source (the game’s .dat file, mined by the infamous that_shaman).

Thoughts on this potentially huge content addition to the game?

Oh! Shiny! Now watch people break it

I’d say it sounds more like player activated content.

Nothing says that you get to pick where the “X” goes, just that you create it. I kind of expect that each zone will have a few set “Treasure X” spots in it, and when you use this the events stuff starts at one of them at random.

Could be a new guild mission type? God knows we could use some more.

True, but:

Double-click this item to place an X on your map

That sort of implies (to me at least) that the X is created where you currently are.

LA full of X’es … yea right.

X never marks the spot.

It sounds like a PVP min-game event.

More ‘Press F to win’, great…
