While I commonly check out the Monk Maps section on the stats page, not every monk has his/her location listed since it is entirely up to the monk to type in the special location tag that jcwren checks for. Likewise, you mention that the closest monk to you is 200 miles away. I'm 90 miles from the 2 monks closest to me that have bothered to take the time to list location. I really don't believe that the 2 closest monks are 90 miles from me.

What tilly brings up is very valid. Not all monks have a static location, so by being able to post in this gatherings section, he could announce that he is able to hang out with any monk swinging through town. So, I'm not really sure that anyone has given valid resistance to adding such a feature. That is not to say there aren't valid reasons, but if there are, nobody has successfully voiced one.

ALL HAIL BRAK!!!
