This has been talked about before and thrown to the wayside.
to load a 3d model of the zone into memory would take too much ram. while it might solve the problem of agro through walls it would double or triple the ram needed to run a server. not to mention the cpu time needed to load them as somone is zoning in.
somone tryed it...cant remember who..but was a huge failure.
The waypoint idea is good...but who is gonna go through each zone and set this up.
what about peeps with custom db's?
