New map desktop app coming soon (as long as it's still kosher with p99 rules)

You are confusing your nostalgia with the reality of how people play P99. The truth is that nobody is having exciting adventures being lost in Norrath anymore, most of the zones in this game are just big fucking rectangles where as long as you have sow, you can autorun your way to safety. The dungeons that people use are completely mapped out, well traveled and if you don't know where to go 9/10 of the people you encounter there will.

Really? Cause I played EQ live from 99-2001, and his description fits me to a tee. I still get confused in certain zones, and I still have to try to memorize which way I came in and the general direction of the nearest zoneline in case of trouble. Remember, not all classes get sow. I don't want a map ingame. I like having to memorize zone layouts. It makes me feel like I've accomplished something when I can remember the exact direction to run to reach X camp in whatever zone. Just because it would be trivial for some to have an I game map, doesn't mean it wouldn't take away from the overall classic eq experience for others.
