So what you're saying is, you want the barrier to entry on red to be even greater

Forgive the cut-sentence quote, but there is no barrier to entry on red. Quite the opposite, there is a stimulus to entry on red.

EverQuest is ALL ABOUT that lexical knowledge. On both servers, it's what guilds wipe over and over again to acquire when facing new raid encounters. On both servers, it's what makes the difference between someone who is a Pro at his class versus one who got PowerLeveled to 60 and never learned the nuances of how to play. On both servers, learning these things is the point of playing the game, and what makes it such a great game.
On red, there are many things to learn about every aspect of the game: how spells differ in PvP to PvE, how to use terrain and mobs to your advantage in PvP, maintaining buff order, how to react to different PvP situations, and YES: How to navigate zones without need for a map!
What I'm saying has nothing to do with what "I want". Third-party programs are against server rules. Period. Mapping functionality was purposefully removed from the client. Period.
Using a third-party application to circumvent that fact is a violation of the spirit of server rules set forth by Rogean. Period.
Having said that, I will definitely and without remorse concede that "I want" to play on a legit server without third party hacks.

It would only be unfair if I wrote the program and used it only for myself.

Beautifully flawed logic.

Anything that is not modifying the client is not a hack. If you can create MQ2 functionality from a log, then I'm assuming it's not doing anything that would be considered cheating.

Respectfully, you are wrong. Also with respect, I must decide to not describe in detail (any more then I already have) the ways to cheat without hooking into the eqgame.exe client.
