I'm annoyed by ditching GUI compasses in the name of classic

On to the OP's question.. things in classic that annoyed me at the time:

-Inability to move items around in containers at the bank. You would have to take the container out, move things, and put it back iirc.
-Spells being interrupted by attempted player trades
-Erudites not being able to use BFGs
-many more

Time to turn out the lights on people without ultra/infravision.

Even still... the night is dark and full of terrors.

I remember hiding in the Oasis Inns at night because you couldn't see anything and those ghouls and desert madmen would wreck you out of nowhere.

Has someone come up with a log parser that will interact with a map in a separate window? Using the last 2 or 3 posts from the /loc command to draw a vector? That would be even better - legal and technically still classic. One of you uber-nerds get on that. Chop-chop!

I remember a post where someone made a map program that gleaned locs and applied them to a map. I don't think he ever got a response from a GM whether it was legal to use or not, but I assume it is legal because the log info is available to everyone. If the staff said it was okie-dokie, I'd love to write something up [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Try to stop thinking in terms of the XYZ coordinate model, and more in terms of the compass rose... i.e. North-South / East-West. You don't say "East West North South", and you don't say "North East South West"...

Hehe. That's exactly what I try to do, but from the mental orientation of (X,Y). I agree that Z is almost always ignorable. We can usually see enough of the Z plane that we don't feel the need to abstract that property to a map. Standing at any one (X,Y) point in a zone, however, it's hard to see enough length and breadth to feel one's bearings inside of the whole.

I did have to comment earlier... after all the time I've spent with (Y,X) in EQ, why can't I make my brain get used to it? Hell I can speak and write in two human languages, code in dozens of machine languages. My mind is fluid to alternative views of identical concepts. Why the frack can't I get over thissun?

I'll caveat it though: I'm in a nature-of-perception-and-thought kind of a mode today looking at some of the conversations I'm having. I guess that happens when boredom is rampant.

Are we so indoctrinated to the Vision™ that we're not mentioning hell levels and all that come with them?

Just a fact of life.
