Question about Maps

[iNSiPiD1]

Hey guys, I recently started playing on this server, and love the fact that it's a representation of how EQ used to be (when it rocked the world).

However, I was a bit perplexed to see that maps are in the game. They were not in the game when it first came out, and only introduced later.

I guess I'm wondering why they were included? Also is there a way I can delete the map files so I won't be able to pull them up in game?

I know I can just remove the hotkey, but I'm human, and it's a very difficult urge to beat. I felt like one of the things that made EQ so great was the immersion of the world, and not having a map added a great deal to that.

Thanks for your future response.
