A simple suggestion. At level 1, Adventurers should have a skill called "Cartography" that maps areas that they have explored. Just something like, you go into Elium Forest, and a map that shows Elium Forest can be displayed with the "map" or "cart" command. The map shows every room you have explored so far in a clear, concise, and easy to read manner.
That way, newer players can get a feel for where they are at and where they can go from there. It would make immersion into a text-based game a lot easier, as we often have trouble adjusting to environments in which we cannot see.
