The easiest way to make a somewhat sphere-like planet would probably be forming a cube from 6 square areas:
Code:
--------
|north |
| pole |

-----------------------------
|sector|sector|sector|sector|
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 |

A message like "You enter sector 4 of Ancardia" would be shown when the PC walks off the edge of an area... Alternatively, Ancardia could be shaped like a doughnut. :P
EDIT:There isn't that flashing thingy under the PC. If there are many other white @'s around the PC it can be hard to tell which one is the player.
And the YASD popup comes too quickly IMO. It's not nice if the game tells you're dead before I notice the reason. I want to slowly realise, :) that my best character that I have played for weeks, has died, like this:
The orc swings his cursed poisonus crude battle axe of doom at you, killing you!(more)
You die...(more)

You hit Andor Drakon, the ElDeR cHaOs GoD, and severely wound him.
The greater balor summons some help!
The ratling duelist disarms you. You drop your blessed Trident of the Red Rooster (+36, 6d12+18) [+12, +12]. It flies to the west.
Andor Drakon, the ElDeR cHaOs GoD, picks up the blessed Trident of the Red Rooster (+36, 6d12+18) [+12, +12].
Andor Drakon, the ElDeR cHaOs GoD, wields the blessed Trident of the Red Rooster (+36, 6d12+18) [+12, +12].
