Learn the zones.

When I was a kid I grew up in the 'sticks'. I would wander so far from home that anyone but me would have no idea where I was. On EQ live I got to the point that anywhere I was in Greater Faydwer and Lesser Faydark, I would know where I was just my looking at the foilage and hills. I knew every turn in a path that if I came across a path while roaming in the wild, I would know which way I was going and where the path ended.

I played WAY too much EQ.

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..

i do play with all of this stuff. 56k connection, old ass computer running windows 98 and a 15 inch CRT monitor with ball mouse.

loltroll, not with titanium client you don't.

Next, we should take to heart the example of the classic-era monk sit-in and gather 1500 people in Thurgadin to demand Haynar's fix that disables the scrollwheel.

The original devs didn't expect most people to get past level 30.

Those wiki maps are the same maps us Classholes printed out from EQ Atlas with hand written notes/locs and collected in binders back in 1999-2001.

Can confirm for this. My friend, who got me into EQ, had a binder of every map (colored btw, he used his work's color laser printer and I thought it was the GOAT at the time) printed out, paper holders and within arms reach every time we played (weekend lan, ahh those were the days).

I screwed around with a friend one day by connecting to his BBS...1994 time frame with my telephone 300 baud.

He got pissed because I wasn't connecting at 9600 so he kicked me. Of course he didn't know who was calling in because he didn't go in adminmode /showuser.

CNET was the BBS he ran. I ran Trinity.

Good times.

That's a damn lie. DSL came out shortly after.. cable modem came out 6 months after. Plus dsl and cable were only available in certain areas at that time

I lived in Vegas when EQ was released. We had cable modem through Cox.

BTW, I stole your camp when you went LD.
