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

I still haven't used it, but if I understand correctly, this program:

1. Collects location information from the log file (legal)
2. Overlays that information on a client-side map (legal)
3. Communicates the same information to a 3rd party server so your friends can see your location, too (legal)
4. Does not interact with the game server, game files, or anything else directly related to p99 (legal)

Nobody is getting banned for this. The GMs already gave it their blessing. If you don't like people using it, tough shit. Everything (literally everything) that this program does could've been done the day EQ was released in '99, and it wouldn't have been bannable back then, either.

what gms gave their blessing?
server rules clearly state no 3rd party programs to gain an advantage
server devs clearly removed in-game maps
is everyone taking crazy pills?
