New/Old Paladin re-re-returning after 10 years

[Deezle]

No, I'm on Blue. I guess I'll stay there since I already have a 33 paladin and 19 chanter on Blue.

If you have gear I'd stick on blue. People might say there is not enough groups but I have a feeling that there are groups but not to that maximum level of a full group. I'm from red though so I'm used to that.

I like only having a troll warrior with regen, a rogue and a ranger to try to figure out how to get into MM.

Also its hard to start a new character. I couldn't switch to rogue on my paladin forever because I was afraid of starting over. Now I am an alt-aholic.

Yeah, Deezle seems to be pretty well geared. His AC is high and he seemed to be smashing his way through blue cons without much problem last night. And apparently, I got him jboots at one point so he was able to outrun a train in Unrest while making his way to the zone line.
It's been a LOOOONG time since I've played. Getting used to hitting /loc while running from a train was a bit of a shock, but it also made me grin ear to ear. For a minute there I was back in the early days of EQ and loving the ride. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
So pardon my amnesia, but I have a few "returning noob" questions:
1. I know I had a little compass on my screen back in the day. Is that not a thing on blue? Is my UI out of date? Or do I just need to type in a secret command to get it back? (Is it /compass? I'm at work right now so I can't check it until tonight.)
2. Wasn't there an in-game map? I know there wasn't one in the first couple of years of EQ but I remember that it was added at some point.
3. Is there a way to re-map the movement keys from WASD to 4,8,6, and 2? I'm a lefty so the right-hand number pad works much better for me. I couldn't find any info about that online last night.
4. I went into my inventory and was pleasantly surprised to discover that I had gotten some good armor for Deezle Junior. Several pieces of Deepwater armor and some jewelry made by my chanter alt gives him some nice stats. But when I mouse over or right click, I only see "Deepwater Bracer" or something similar; no stats. Wasn't there a way to see the stats of the item?
Man, it's been so long. Forgive me for the dumb questions, I've forgotten so much. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
