It’s probably because a rule against third-party programs that read log files and do not send inputs to the game would be unenforceable.

If you’re trying to figure out whether the devs want us to have quality of life or not, you’re thinking about it the wrong way. And if you’re thinking of P99 developers/owners the way you think of normal game devs who are providing a service, you’re thinking about it the wrong way. Rogean has literally said he doesn’t care how many people play here. He just wants to replicate classic EQ. He is not doing it for us.

In-game maps are unclassic and thus were removed; third-party programs are also unclassic, but probably cannot be prevented.

This is the part you got wrong, in fact the reason that log parses, which allow for map overlays exist in P99 is due to the fact that they were classic, I had a map overlay in the early 2000s during the velious era as did the majority of people I played with. Sure they were newer and maybe not as polished or have as many features but log parse/in game mapping did occur during this era.

What wasn't classic is maps embedded into the game but 3rd party software was used en mas and were generally accepted by the community.
