LOL chortled good here - thank you.

ITT the difference between OP being able to feed his family & pay his bills is a rudimentary map in a (16) year old game.

You should be thankful we get the Wiki. In 1999 you had to print hard copies of that shit and make an entire binder dedicated to EQ maps.

So wiki map with location numbers for key points of interests is classic? Sorry I'm not understanding you classic guys...

I love the feel of a new zone/dungeon to explore. Having a built in map takes away that edgy feeling. Unlike most people on here, I never had a real classic EQ experience.

I swear, if they came out with an MMO that had no maps, exp penalty on death (and potentially levels lost!), long painful corpse runs, no guides, and with even leveled mobs outside of the newbie zone requiring groups for a lot of classes at launch I'd be all about it.

The second half is obvious.

what happened to norrath map?

does /loc not spit to the log file any more?

Don't know exactly what it's doing, but it ain't doing that.

And it's not like NorrathMap was the only option for those who wanted maps.

As if leveling didn't take long enough, now back to wiki maps and /loc to waste more of my time. Woot.

Complaining about wasting time while playing emulated EQ, lmao.

Or you just learned the maps. Outdoor zones are all pretty simplistic, and most dungeons only seem too labyrinthine to remember until you get your bearings on a few key landmarks. Not all, but most.

Tbh, most of you "that's not classic" nerds would quit if this was REALLY classic windows 98, 56k modem, no laser mouse, no flat screen monitor.. etc. Why bash my main post when the official wiki has maps with key points of interests on it.. norrath map was the same just a time saver for me.. sorry I have a family to feed and bills to pay... I don't have time to find a zone in an mmo that takes forever to level in at the same time..

Really funny stuff, made me laugh!

I'm down for server throttles and random disconnects.

Yeah, I remember the DDoS attacks like 2 years ago where some schmuck thought it would be a great idea to continually attempt to bring down p99. At the time my SK and my static group was doing a lot of CT and experiencing Classic Lag/DCs every so often.

It was actually pretty amusing in its way. Every time we'd lag we'd be like "SHIT'S CLASSIC"
