NO, IT DIDN'T. A printed-out map would show you coordinates, which only means something
after you looked at it and COMPARED it to what your current /loc was in the game. It would not freaking tell you exactly where you are in the game world when you're being chased down by a monster, so that you can immediately run in the correct direction to safety.

[You can't just click a button and see exactly where you are and how to get straight to the zoneline] Um... yeah, you can.

No, you can't. Clicking /loc doesn't tell you exactly where the zoneline or other key spots in the zone are even if you've memorized their coordinates. It only gives you an idea. You have to process the information and
orient yourself in the right direction. This takes some time and even if it's just a few seconds, that can easily be the difference between dying or not when you get aggroed. You're removing a large amount of the risk in the game if that element is gone.

[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.] You could.

Huh? No you couldn't. There was only the /follow command which works in a very limited distance. If you stop for a few seconds and your party keeps moving and you lose line of sight, then you're on your own.
