By 2000, everybody I knew had maps next to their computers when they played. The only difference here is the medium: paper vs pixels.

Immersion is hardly a fallacy.
Having a map did not tell you exactly where you were in the zone. You still had to sit there and /loc and move in somewhat jagged patterns. The huge difference is that if a monster ATTACKS you, then you don't have time to stop at all. You can't just click a button and see exactly where you are and how to get straight to the zoneline, while avoiding other areas with aggro threats.
Nor could you just click a button and see exactly where your party members are, so that if you get separated you can immediately find them without any threat of being caught alone.
There is a massive difference. Also, 2000 is not 1999.
