We'd probably code it to round off the edges so it would look nicer than a hard-edged polygon. This could be used for discovery areas or defining a region where a certain mob spawns when there isn't a specific coordinate.
I can't recall if this was in EQ2 or "that other game" but there was a map with was was called a "cluster" POI, and when highlighted would list the multiple NPC, quest, disco, etc. that were located within a certain small radius.

This sounds like a great idea, however, if added might crowd up the map a bit with icons and areas. I request a legend that you can open up in the map and toggle certain POIs and/or ROIs on or off to keep the maps from getting over crowded with icons.
Isn't this something available in the original EQ2MAP?
