Norrath Map was always a joke IMHO (woudn't release source, required registration to use etc.) - I think the author thought p99 was an untapped market and (like many other p99 fan apps) dropped off after he saw he was making diddly squat from the p99 playerbase.

I gotta say I use your auction logger daily.. though I don't understand why norrath map can't be made client side without hosting from a web site.

Before NorrathMap, there was a player-made client side map program. Don't think the guy that made it still plays P99 though.

The guy just wants to make a little cash from P99 on the side, no harm in that is there? You need to turn off adblock on his page to be able to use it.

I disabled it. I was just giggling at the error message. It's a pretty awesome site.

I actually donated money to Norrath Maps and it was unclaimed for a month until it got defaulted back to me.

There's probably one that came before the one I put together, but as linked before:

https://github.com/ahungry/p99-patcher

For the patcher + bonus features thing I was setting up a couple years ago, it includes a client side map app (it tracks the /log data and plots it in a locally run web browser that refreshes via javascript) - never got around to making an overlay like Norrath Map did or a spiffy marketing oriented site.

Regarding google ads, I'll say it isn't much - prior to the "suggestion" popup to disable ABP it was less than what monthly hosting cost me for the VPS (that being around twenty a month, although I could probably find cheaper I'm pretty happy with my host), afterwards its a lil over (the logger itself gets around 2000/unique hits a month, so I net about one cent per user at the moment).

I never had to register anything to use it.

He removed that part of it after a while.

So... Did anyone end up hosting Norrath Map? I have the sense of direction of a blind gerbil.

The original devs didn't expect most people to get past level 30.

Those wiki maps are the same maps us Classholes printed out from EQ Atlas with hand written notes/locs and collected in binders back in 1999-2001.

I still have my binders in a box at my parents house... I remember taking a trip to hang out with some friends and carrying a couple of those binders with me to get their opinions on gear upgrades for my druid.

I'm still waiting on a "pvp" game you play. Tab target need not apply.

Makes fun of people PvEing on EQ. Plays blue 99 instead of Red...Logic
