R.I.P Norrath Map

These threads never get old.

As a person who hates most of the classic bullshit, I am sympathetic to most things. But I'm just not sympathetic to this one. A lot of people think fighting monsters and getting loot is what EverQuest is about, but so much of EQ is really just traveling. Seeing the zones, learning the zones, feeling scared because you don't know the zone and what to expect.

I know that to the OP, the zones are just an arbitrary time sink between looting monsters and leveling up, but to many of us the zones and the lack of maps is a core part of the experience of the game.

Having a map doesn't hurt any of those and is a learning tool.

Having a map and having a map with your location overlaid that constantly updates are two different things.

Recently ran my Level 8 Wizard from Qeynos to the Gypsy camp in NK in order to get a druid to port me to WC so I could sell my two backpacks full of bone chips.

The whole time my pulse was racing, my palms were sweating and I was practically holding my breath the entire trip because I had no idea what kind of mobs I might encounter on the way. (I really have been away from the game that long) And I was afraid to stop long enough to check my iPad. Getting ganked by a werewolf within sight of the NK zone line didn't make the CR any easier.

THAT'S CLASSIC!
