- the Terrain Distance slider is back on Options → Graphics, in its 1.12 seat and range (177–777, live, no Apply) — and it now drives how much world is resident, not just how far you see: the streamer derives its resident and prefetch windows from farclip in the reference's own chunk units, pulling the ring in as you drag left and streaming it back one tile per frame as you drag right; the `WOW_TILE_RADIUS` env var, the debug panel's farclip slider and a dressed-up fog constant all retire into it
- ask a city guard for directions and the destination lands on your maps: `SMSG_GOSSIP_POI` becomes a red flag drawn through the same landmark path as towns and inns — an icon in place when near, competing for a rim arrow when off the edge — and the world map's landmark enumeration answers now, so the flag renders there too and names itself on hover
- the flag is one slot (new directions replace the last), drops itself within 10 yards of the destination, expires after the reference's own 480 seconds, and clears on any world entry; the rim-arrow rank rides the packet's own field, not a guessed constant
