In the starting areas (Hempstead and Vehl and all the areas they comprise) and perhaps other major cities, especially those with many shops with helpful map tags, it would be real nice to have the minimaps automatically explored every time for everyone.
They're well known cities and not adventuring areas so this wouldn't give any sort of "advantage" to players other than making it easier to get around and not forget whats where or miss stuff.
It would also make it much much more new player friendly as they try to get their basic equipment together on their first excursion into the world.
