Short story - back when I first started playing EverQuest on live, I did not know about eq atlas or allakhazam or other resources such as this. I first rolled a human druid, then promptly lost his corpse and rolled a human paladin. My family member however started with a wood elf druid and proceeded to get lost in Kelethin over and over and die repeatedly from falling off of the platforms. After a few days of frustration and lost corpses they decided to take a whack at drawing a map for themselves. While digging up some old paper eq atlas maps (yes I still have them from 2000, organized by continent alphabetically) I came across this cool little map. So I took a few pictures (terrible photographer) and thought I would post them for nostalgia purposes - enjoy =D.

should replace the wiki with hand drawn images.

I agree, using maps online and the wiki aren't classic.
Hand drawn maps should help make it closer to classic.
Actually, removing the wiki would be better since it isn't classic.

The Wiki is no different than Alla's, Everlore, EQAtlas (all of which started in 1999) or the hundred other websites with hand-drawn maps that were very much classic. P99 isn't actually stuck in March 1999. It's a progression server and has progressed to Kunark and Epics and will soon be in Velious. Everybody was using the Net for info by then.

I wish I had this map when I started in 2000. Kelethin was a nightmare for a first-time-player.
