Hiding players on the map on a Vintage Story server fosters a sense of immersion and mystery, forcing players to rely on landmarks and coordinates rather than a magical GPS icon. It serves as a vital security measure for PvP or competitive servers, preventing players from easily tracking and raiding each other's hidden bases. By removing real-time location tracking, administrators encourage more organic exploration and communication, as players must manually describe their whereabouts to meet up.
