That is a perfect articulation of the sentiment I had.

OMG I remember making a wood elf and trying to follow that kelethin map. Didn't work out too well.

Then trying to use the cloth map that came with kunark to run from Halas to qeynos ... Again, didn't work out too well!

thanks for sharing these maps. old eq maps are part of the reason i love this game so much. eq exploration is so much more immersive and rewarding than the majority of new mmos.

I used to use those maps to get about when I was 12 or 13 years old. I would get so flusterd getting lost in Kelethin. I agree; they might had well be ink blots.

Nice! Do you guys know if similar maps of any other zones exist? Like the Commonlands and such?

I have a new EQ themed 3D project in the works, and these are great reference [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

The only maps of such zones really only exist if generated by players who put them online. I can recall the joy of finding some truly high quality maps which someone put a lot of care into creating. I think the person's name was Questor or that was his site's name? I did a few quick searches and found the original site in the Internet Archives. You can go there via THIS link
There are some great EQ gems hiding in the Archives..

There's also a book which was put out that you can pick up used and cheap on Amazon..
Do a search for Everquest Atlas: The Maps of Myrist and you'll find it.
