All this stuff is awesome. I found Striiker's link in particular breathtaking. Thanks so much to the person who hosts and compiled those maps. Players back then put so much time and energy and love into mapping the complicated world of Everquest. Games of today do not get nearly the amount of attention and care from players that EQ did. And I'm not sure if it's because the players don't give a sh1t or the game producers keep putting out junk.

Yeah, it's really cool to see the playerbase so involved in developing the resources for the game.
It's not that later games are junk...It's that they're built a lot more completely than EQ was so things like player-made maps are less necessary. For example, I only used player-made maps in WoW for dungeons (for obvious reasons) or mining. But WoW wasn't and isn't a junk game. I had a ton of fun playing it for a few years.
EQ was raw enough that these kinds of resources are essential.
