Maps completely discovered back to pitch black!!!!

[damianthorn]

<p>I don't know why 2 maps that I discovered completely (Commonlands and Antonica) are back to being non-discovered but would like to know if there is anything I can do to fix this...</p><p>I petitioned but didn't get any feedbacks from SoE and asking anyone to give me some advice if possible</p><p>Regards,</p><p> Clekis</p>

I came back to the game recently, and was amazed that my lvl 58 character had a black map for the eastern part of Commonlands...it is possible that others are black too, I just have not seen them yet..Would not be too bad if I got AA exp again from exploration discoveries <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

I believe the map shroud is saved on the client side.  Having the shroud reappear could be the result of a zone update modifying the file that stores that info.  I've noticed the shroud re-appearing on my account a few times as well.
