Sooo.. Norrath Maps just went down? Nothing seems to have changed with P99 itself. Because other similar tools are still working?

Good work reading this post.

This is not the stupidest thread ever on these forums, but it wishes it could be.

The EQ character spends most of his life trying not to get killed while traveling the EQ world. That's why travel was purposely designed to be challenging. The introduction of things like the books of knowledge and the minimap urinated in the face of what made EQ worth wasting our time on.

And by the way, Time Warner introduced high speed cable internet in 1996, so yeah, cable internet is almost as old as the cell phone. Which means it has probably been in existence longer than many of these people who whine for features that aren't classic.

I never played EQ on dial-up, had cable in May of 1999 when I started. Played MUDs on dial-up, though, and amassed a big phone bill one month when AOL changed their call #'s for our location to all be long distance. That was the last month we lived out in the country-ish area before moving back to the city, thankfully. Mother was very, very mad about the bill when it came the next month.

Revelations...first off this thread would of be much more productive if you did not take other peoples opinions as personal attacks, even if some cannot give constructive criticism in a way that works for you. For someone who does not want to "waste time" and enjoy the game I find it rather odd how much time you've wasted responding to answers and questions that clearly are not going to alter your preset state of mind on this subject.

The larger question is what exactly do you wish to accomplish by this thread? This 1999 based game revived has modern limitations client and other wise. Somethings are the same, somethings are similar and others are what they need or the dervs choose them to be (Which is clearly their prerogative). I promise with the time you wasted responding on this thread you could've memorized enough pathing and landmarks via the wiki or in game to minimize the traveling part of EQ that you do not seem to enjoy. Also in my opinion "bad" graphics do not make the immersion any less and in fact makes it all the better when you do see something unique in Norrath. Everything said so far is just opinions; you can agree, disagree or anything in between seeing as no one is right or wrong in that sense.

Just try and keep a clear purpose if you need some form of validation concerning your map related grievance regardless of what others may say. Part of being a adult is being able to respond to others maturely even if they lack the ability to themselves. Well, this just has been one of those opinion things. Good luck if you wish to continue playing a re-imagined 1999 based game. (If it helps just leave the word classic out) Cheers [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Ingame map is timesaving, im agree. But if u are in dangerous situation then not possibility to use it make game more challenging.
I was using norrathmap for few days and it was another game. But im not much worry about its dissabled, wiki giving more info.
And using wiki isnt classic? Maybe but its faster way to get some info only (in classic times - u got info from friends, guildies, sites etc; wiki is similar but ok, more complex)

alitle OT: I was plaing game with this rule:

You may not post, or distribute information deemed by the Game Staff to be secret, including, but not limited to, quest walkthroughs, and boss, unique and quest monster locations and/or stats.

and it was fun.
Im worry for impossible to apply it for very known game like EQ.

sry for my bad eng

I highly doubt I could have learned zones rather than replying to posts seeing that I reply to posts while at work [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] my point of this thread is simple and good for you that you don't fall under my category of very limited gameplay time.. if you had 1-2 hours a day to play perhaps you would understand my reasons for liking norrathmap to save me time rather than looking for zones myself or with wiki maps+/loc (which some people still struggle with.. I don't I learned the loc system before running into norrath map) still.. I'm only stating this cuts down my playtime considerably since I don't have time to find things... i only have time to log on, get a group, and get to it for about an hour and 45 minutes. Dunno if that makes you understand my point. Thanks for polite reply. Cheers!
