Back in late 2000 I remember I got lost in Western Plains of Karana and that year I had just drove cross country from Connecticut to California. I’ll never forget driving at around 4pm along a long stretch of highway with the sun rays searing into my retinas making it difficult to see the road.
From that point on I always remembered the sun sets in the west and rises in the east. I used that info and the silly ‘Never Eat Shredded Wheat’ mnemonic and applied it to my hopelessly lost elf mage weeks later, I actually managed to find the pathway to Qeynos Hills without a trusty EQ Atlas map or the in game sense directions by following the sun! I felt like I accomplished something extraordinary that day. Oh, what memories!
