Ok I really need this clarified. Let's look at Unrest, a map we have established and working and has this mismatched X and Y axis like many other maps.

If you go up the map, the X axis increases.
If you go down, the X axis decreases.

Left = Y axis increase.
Right = Y axis decrease.

THE BIG QUESTION:
Which way is North???

I went in-game, used True North spell and it pointed me up the map. (towards the mansion's front door if I stood at the tunnel entrance to zone)


Quote:
/loc
To get your coordinate location in your current zone, type "/loc" or simply "/l". The resulting set of numbers is in the form of (y, x, z).

y: North (positive) and South (negative)
x: West (positive) and East (negative)
z: Up (positive) and Down (negative)
I think the instructions on this are wrong. I think it should be
y: West (positive) and East (negative)
x: North (positive) and South (negative)

This may not be so bad after all, because the loc command returns the numbers in the form (y,x), we will intuitively interpret it as (x,y) when looking at the map which technically uses Y as the x-axis, and X as the y-axis.
