I just want a very simple map that tells the realms people own.

In 2.0 we had a map with all the realms overlaid on it. However, it was removed because of the load it put on the server. If that strains the server, I don't think we will be seeing a real time map.

As mitchie151 stated, we have had a map before. Map generating programs run server side, therefore they use server resources. As I remember it would take at minimum an hour to generate/update the map and at most it took 3-4 hours. And during this time of map generation it definitely decreased the servers, capabilities.

Right now Intelli is currently busy with solving the redstone problem and optimizing the server. Seeing as the server is already strained at times, I don't think adding another process the server has to run is a good idea.

It ran at night when the server load was pretty low. But yea, I agree that Intelli has more important things he is working on at the moment.

It shouldn't strain the server at all if it was only updated hourly.

Except for that fact that it can take several hours to run the mapping programs on a map of our size. When we were having daily updates, there was noticeable strain/crashes while the updating occurred. Right now, maps are very low priorities.

A map would still be really nice even if it wasn't updated daily. Although it might be interesting to look at how the map changes on such a regular basis (time-lapse of a town being built, or what have you), even a weekly updating map would be awesome.

Ive been on servers with live updating and really never lagged from it (noticable lag anyways) so I know it can be done other then it was buggy at times too like not updating for an hr or more but still showed constant updating on player positions though sometimes it didnt either.

A new world map would be nice to see too for such as mapping the subway as someone else pointed out and other things.
