Sort of... yes.

I mean, they did include the /loc and logging systems, sell kunark and velious to you with maps included in the box (albeit not to the same level as a wiki or a mapping app), eventually implement a map ingame (suggesting perhaps the desire to do so originally but it just didn't happen cause of budget/technical limitations/time constraints, etc), etc.

Stuff like this isn't far off from something like FD splitting or AE groups. Neither of those things were "intended" by the developers of EQ; they were things that the players figured out they could do (and do legally) with the mechanics the devs gave them. So is this.

Sort of... yes.

I've learned more about EQ in the time I've been on p99 than I learned in the time I played on live from early kunark on and off through like, LOY or something. There's a lot of breadth AND depth to this game. There's still plenty to discover and learn and do even now, over a decade after the true noob phase ended [You must be logged in to view images.
