Default Getting lost - map sense

So any of you guys have a good sense of location and it works for you in this game?

i know i can rarely get lost... only zone so far that can give me a bit of a hard time is feerot when you cannot see more than 5 meters ahead...

what's your worst zones where you tend to get lost wayyyy too much with dangerous outcomes?

I get turned around in solb and every swamp zone on a pretty regular basis. Never really turns out badly, it's just annoying when I run past the zone to sro and don't realize it until I'm on the other side of innothule and stuff like that.

I am a man, and therefore, never lost.

I was away from EQ from 2004 until about a month or so ago, and I'm amazed at how much quickly came back to me. I might briefly get turned around here and there, but never truly lost.

Yet, I still sometimes get lost in the city I've lived for 40 of my 47 years.

Well, I've never in my EQ experience been to any Halfling lands, so probably Rivervale/Misty Thicket. But I've only been to Beholder's once, and that's a maze... so maybe that one.

It's hard for me to be sure though, because m memory recall tends to be crap until I have need of the information, then it's pretty sharp.

It's always kind of hard for me to find the zone lines in Warslick's Wood and Burning Wood. Other than that, sense heading and having a map pulled up usually steers me in the right direction. That maze in Cazic-Thule can be a pita though.

I seem to end up off course about every other time I run through swamp of no hope. The water should be on my left and somehow it ends up on my right, or some such. A good understanding of the /loc feature largely prevents getting "lost".

Early on as an EQ newbie back in the day, my very first character was a Barbarian and I had a difficult time learning how to navigate the canyons in Everfrost. I recall I wandered around in there for the better part of an hour one day before I was able to follow another player back to town.
