Tallest peak and lowest valley?

[E-Queue]

So, is the z-axis independent in each zone? Like, if it's +100 at one zoneline, is it +100 on the other side? Or does each zone have its own z coordinate system?

[pogs4ever]

I’d think we’d have to calibrate each zones Z access to each other. Would have to start with prominence (or whatever the opposite of prominence is for valleys) and then figure out relative relation of each zone to each other ? That volcano in skyfire has some good prominence but I’m not sure it beats some of the frontier mountains. Which a lot of frontier peak mountains have cool stuff at the top worth a gander [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Here is what I think we should do.

Lets create a pot.

If you contribute screenshots of a high or low Zaxis, you must be willing to contribute 1k to the winner.

If you win, PM each person and setup a date to accept your 1k

if you do not get that 1k from a poster then you are legally abliged to NAME AND SHAME them ITT until they give you the 1k they owe.

This is the quest!

We will vote, when we think we have completed the search and wish to award the winner.

This is my epic player run quest, that nobody will partake in but I hope they do! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I think zones' Z-axes should be considered independently. -100 in The Hole is the same as -100 in Lake of Ill Omen. Then there would be no disagreement about whether The Hole or Sleeper's Tomb is lower; or whether TOFS is higher than the Combine spires in DL. It's just finding the highest and lowest raw Z values in any zone. Thoughts?

I don’t know why but reading this thread and responses is one of the most satisfying things I’ve done in a while.

From a standpoint of looking at every zone as a singular box, there's merit to doing those measurements. But thinking about the overall landscape and elevations throughout Norrath is more fun!

To me the highest point of Everfrost Peaks should logically be the highest point in Norrath. That's the Himalayas of the planet. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

And for lowest point, somewhere in The Buried Sea (not released during Classic, but seen on the world map). The ocean is a deep place. Too bad we didn't get better underwater game areas. "Atlantis" should been located over there somewhere.

That’s where the combine should have really ended up. Under the ocean, instead of on the moon
