The version in 2000 was a working prototype from a guy who didn't release it. Later, in 2001 sometime, another project was started that took his source and later released eqwindow. I came across this research at some point, and would have to find it.

Most of the time no. But there are those rare moments where it gets you killed ;p

Nilb, stop justifying yourself. This is your project.

don't forget the fact that in 1999 the best maps to exist were hand drawn sketches using pencil & paper and scanned. There wasn't even maps available for every zone. So given those facts then no, this program could not have existed in 1999

example: Jan 18, 2000 - no map for highkeep hold (and the highpass map is done in crayon)

Back then, Everlore had better maps than EQAtlas.

I think what people are saying in this thread is EQ is really hard and they want to make it easier.

Ignore for a moment the Chardok AOE groups helping you hit 60 ASAP, ignore the ahungry auction tracker saving you time in EC, ignore the MQ epics saving you time doing those "difficult" quests... the next issue is people might get a bit lost because there's no in game maps, so lets solve that real quick.

Now lets see, why did we come back to play a 15 year old elf sim?

Nothing is more classic than EQ players trying to make the painful UI of EQ less painful [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Except of course the fact that the painful UI couldn't be made less painful.[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
