I think you're able to like a ton of things about Classic EQ, but not enjoy every aspect of it. If you think there's any alternative to playing classic EQ besides P99 either, you're straight up wrong. Every server that even comes close to upholding a classic theme is either underpopulated or underdeveloped or both. This is the only server that has a great population and development team.
However, some people really like maps. I can read a map just fine and open the P99 wiki for zones whenever I get lost/confused. All of my characters have max sense heading to make map reading easier, and I'm good at seeing landmarks on a map. Some individuals are awful at that, and I think that's why they decide to use an outside program.

p99 became popular in the first place because people wanted to play classic EQ. That's why I couldn't sign up fast enough when I first caught wind of its existence 4 years ago. Now at this point it seems a different group of people are attracted to it because its where the people are. Its where the party's at.
It's like back in my high school days how my friends would throw a party with tight music ( 70's funk, soul, classic rock, new york rap, some west coast rap), good liquor, good smoke, cool girls and just cool people in general. Eventually as the night went on word of our chill ass party would spread and the "WOOOOOO" kids would show up blasting gay ass raver music out of there cars and snorting lines of ADHD meds. They never brought girls with them of course because why would girls even want to hang out with them. Eventually a fight would break out because these two groups don't belong together. The only reason they showed up in the first place is because we created an awesome atmosphere. The woo kids wanted what we had but their very nature prevented them from maintaining it.
The same dynamic is at play here on p99. Some people showing up late to this party are either just cheapskates who don't want to pay for an MMO subscription or thrift store hipsters who see classic EQ as the vintage mmo to accessorize themselves with. Either way, "classic" is the only reason there is a party here in the first place. If you can't respect classic, the party is going to get lame real quick. "Whats the big deal? Get with the times. You're living in the past" is the argument I'm seeing. YEAH NO SHIT WE'RE LIVING IN THE PAST.
