I loled as I went into the attic and dusted off "Maps of Myrist"

So title says it all.
Just wanted to know if anyone else has done the same.

The funniest thing is I bought this map book a bit AFTER I stopped playing EQ like 5 years ago because it was on clearance and I thought the pics were great. Who knew it would be an awesome investment to come out and help me once again!

Literally lol.

written by a girl, so, probably has all sorts of wrong directions in it

looking at the back credit there are a ton of names that say help contributed to the level designs of which like 2 sound like lady names........

These seem pretty win imo.

the book is awesome because it tells you the lore about every EQ zone, i'm a big fan.

It does with some zones. Most it does not.

I got the same book bundled with PoP when that came out. Busted it out when I started playing here. I noticed that whoever compiled the zone information doesn't understand the difference between the words "Background" and "Description".

Background, when used in the context it is in the book, means "history of this zone". Instead of telling us about the interesting things that happen in a zone that make it the place we see in game, they tell us what it looks like when you're running through it.

The maps are really nice though! Except for Kedge, which has the Points of Interest for East Freeport.
