Brand new player. Sorry if this has been discussed many times , but are map programs allowed? I keep seeing yes and no when I look at up. On the wiki there is a link for one such program, but again I just want to follow the rules. Thanx for any help

In game maps are disabled. I recommend http://www.allakabor.com/eqatlas/atlas.html .

If you mean a third party program that only uses your log file data, then you are probably allowed.
If you are unsure you should post the actual software you might be using and let a GM give you a direct specific answer.

sheeple who ask if they're allowed to do things are part of whats wrong with the world today.
Use common sense and make intelligent choices.
I highly suggest you re-read the server rules Slonekb05 as you clearly don't know or understand them.

Why be a jerk? I did read the rules and says no 3rd party programs and then On the wiki they have a link to a map program...so it’s a bit unclear. Why make a reply that adds no substance at all? I think your high horse is leaving..

Dont mind the forum trolls they infest every corner here. Just quickly identify them and ignore as fast as possible

The game is more fun without maps. These days I can navigate most all zones from memory and landmarks.
For the random large zones with poor visibility eqatlas tabbed out for reference and good old /loc the works wonders.

I get that, but if everyone is just tabing out to look at maps or have them printed out beside them.. then there’s not much of a purpose of not having maps in game. It would be one thing is no one is using maps and were all going on memory but that doesn’t seem like what’s going on.

The purpose is that prior to luclin the map feature wasn't in the game, the whole point of this server is to recreate the game as it was classic to velious era.
You could always use printed out maps or another monitor back in the day (granted few ppl had multiple monitors back then), but the map feature wasn't in the game at the time

I see, I started right before luclin came out, so I never recall not having them. But I commend them for trying to make it as classic as possible

Autohotkey, GINA & ZlizeEQmaps are pushed under the rug while things like macroeq and showeq will get you banned. I'd comment on my opinion on this but none of you really care, so I wont. Just the facts.

But it isn't "facts". comparing a map program reading your loc from the log file with showeq or some injection program are two totally different categories.
one is making the game easier doing things you can humanly do yourself. one is letting do things and see things you can never actually do yourself in game.

Do yourself a favor and do not use any third party tools (permitted or not) if you're looking for a classic EQ experience as a newbie.

Sirken would not allow these log reading programs if he had his way!
(info obtained from a sirken stream)
How is this relevant? We have Nilbog and Rogean to thank for allowing us to use these programs.

somethings on p99 arent classic my friend like the bard swarming limit that was never a thing even sirken said on his latest stream somethings on p99 arent classic but are needed

Yes some changes are needed.
Maps is just QoL and is not needed for the babies, go pay your 15$ to daybreak if you can't play without ingame maps

There was for most players. Remember that back then, most people were on dial-up, and swarm kiting on dial-up got you killed fast.
Now, there certainly were players that had better connections, but they were the minority. Since P99 isn't going to say "lucky player #12345 you get the simulated T1 line" I think the current limit is the most reasonable way to simulate classic.

I'm still saying they should emulate the classic internet connection. :)

Suddenly no raid mob in ToV ever dies as 3 guilds at the zone in lag everyone out with massive disconnects lol

People that are unsure of things and try to gain a better understanding are a good thing. What's wrong with this world is people that assume they can know everything by mere intuition. By your use of the word 'sheeple' I'd assume you belong to the latter.
