what gms gave their blessing?
server rules clearly state no 3rd party programs to gain an advantage
server devs clearly removed in-game maps
is everyone taking crazy pills?

I guess you'd be talking about this:

"Any type of program or script that gives you an unfair advantage (eg. MacroQuest, ShowEQ or packet modification) will result in an instant ban with no lenience."

And I'll admit this is a bit of a grey area, but Derubael already said it was cool. This program doesn't give an "unfair advantage" because it uses information freely available to everyone at any point while playing the game. You could get the same result by binding /loc to a movement key and keeping an eqatlas map open on a second monitor. This program just does it automatically. It is hardly an advantage at all, IMO.

if everyone was supposed to use the 3rd party utility, they wouldnt have gone through the trouble of removing maps

Someone already created a log parsing mapper, about 6-9 months ago, and it got GM approval.

The only difference here is that you can share locs with friends.

S. T. F. U. now.

I'm late to the party on all the details of said program. When you say that it shows you the /loc of your friends, what does that mean exactly? People on your in game friends list? Do they have to give you some form of consent to be on the list? Is it a 3rd party program that all have to be connected to to be considered as friends?

Its like ahungry auction helper. Anyone connected to the webapp while logging their /loc should show up.

1. People log.

2. His program crawls the log.

3. Organize information into a standard syntax.

4. Uploads data to website.

5. Draw on canvas.

6. Upload result to users.
