Can you force players to view the same area?

Edit: Yes, it was meant to say "Can you force players to view the same area." My mistake. Dear Friends, My name is GM Trig, and I have been a GM on this site for at least 7 months. My question currently is can you force every player to see the same area at once? This mainly stems from having a large map with fog of war and players becoming lost in the darkness, desperately trying to find the action. I had pondered removing fog of war but the players feel it removes the immersion if you can "see everything". Another option was to resize the map but that was also denied, the players growing fond of having a large, open world of grandiose scale. Our current solution is to let them wander until they see the tiny spec of themselves on the mass of black, a rather inefficient method. I personally prefer solutions for free accounts due to the solution solving the problem on all levels but I am open to any solution. Thank you for your time and effort reading. Sincerely, GM Trig

If the GM holds down the &lt;shift&gt; key while clicking and holding on an area of the map, it will pull all the player views to that location.

Dear Diana, I thank you from the depths of my being for this solution. I was slowly losing my mind trying to figure out how this works. For those who are reading, you hold &lt;shift&gt; key and hold left click to drag the map. Again, thank you. Best Wishes, GM Trig
