New map desktop app coming soon (as long as it's still kosher with p99 rules)

[feanan]

It's like the same 4 people posting against the maps.

who cares.

Seriously, if there going to allow this they may as well put the damn maps back in to the game.

These will be better than the in-game map (just not as responsive) -- added features and the ability to share information between clients will make it that way.

So even if they re-enabled the in-game map, people will still be complaining.

It's not a matter of allowing it. It doesn't alter the game in any way, shape or form and he isn't charging plat for the program. Their only option would be to ban OP and remove the links anytime they are posted.

It would be extremely unjust if they toon such action since he posted here to verify it was ok.

Could they not disable logging if they wanted to stop this? I don't know how these things work

Cannot get this to work at all, just gives me a blank "not found" page. Tried adjusting my install path, tried moving EQ to default path, still the same thing.

Not being able to see exactly where you are in the game World is precisely what made Everquest the game it was

That's just silly.

Look, it's all very simple: the map app exists. Its not going away. No amount of bitching or moaning in this thread or any other thread is going to make it go away. Even if you COULD convince the staff to change their minds, it wouldn't matter because they're not going to disable logging (which is more or less what it would take to ban the app).

So, instead of being miserable, wouldn't it make more sense to just be happy with the wonderful, free, and very-close-to-classic emulated EQ server that the developers have given us, and not get hung up one really small (in the grand scheme of things) piece that you don't like?

It's not small at all. I was thinking of playing again on the Red server. But with this in place? No way. What's the point?

This man is clearly a connoisseur of immersion. What is your immersion threshold for wanting to play? The average player must be at least 50% as immersed as you? Maybe 40-45% is more realistic.
