Whoa! Let's not go all chicken little here: this is not even remotely close to MQ2 (although, for the record, 100% allowed-on-P99 log-reading map overlay systems do already exist).
All this is is a very basic convenience: instead of having to:
- go to an NPC's page
- check their loc
- click the link to their zone
- find the map
- move your finger along the map until you find approximately where on the map the NPC is
You can now just go to the NPC's page .. and see where your finger would have pointed, right there on the same page.
That's all. And even just to enable that someone has to go zone-by-zone and calculate the exact numbers to make all this possible, which means even this basic convenience is going to take awhile to "take over" (and any future "corruption" anyone might envision is a long ways off after that). |
Yeah, idk, IMO most of the wiki is already spoiling a bit too much. Ive used it, but Ive also found out how to complete a quest without it, and I still remember tha tquest, and dont remember any of the ones I used the wiki for. I have some info that I have debated releasing to the public, but then I decided not to, because finding that info (on p99) is some of my most memorable moments in EQ and if someone just gave it to me, I wouldn't have those memories.
And like I said its inevitable. And its also inevitable that this data will turn into mq2 python coded transparent overlay software in more than 5 years from now, that everyone on p99 uses, I guarantee it.
My personal take is, this info is fine to publish online, but Id prefer it was on some wird website of your own, and didn't share a URL with the game, so some people can remain in the dark a bit more easily about all these spoilers
