Nobody is going to want to travel into the unknown without a little help, in real life people stay in hotels with good word of mouth from friends, visit countries with the aid of tour books and travel to unknown areas via a sat nav. With this in mind I want the community of Zork players to be the aid in which the player gets through the world of Zork.
Dark souls implements a feature that allows other players to leave notes and helpful hints along the game world to make it a little easier to navigate the harsh task throughout, this inspired the idea of having the community of Zork fill in the corners of the map together.

| Not the best advice, at least he tried. |
If the players were to opt for the Zork+ mode or even if they didn’t, they could visit the games website or the equivalent forum which I would integrate to the in-game libraries and be able to browse through different players findings.
For instance if a player had found a nice landscape secret such as a waterfall which leads into a secret cavern, he/she could then post a screen shot of the area along with the coordinates on the map to allow other players to read his post and find the area for themselves.
If the community were to base these actions on the Zork main website forum, I would predict that there would be one main thread that focused on the whole community trying to fill out the map together.
