I don't know how to do the neat box thingy that Rygar uses but here's one I see from Loading's log on RZ:

You're able to run the /loc command after dying. On p99 I don't believe you're able to do so, as I still have the habit of hitting my /loc hotkey when I die and I'm pretty sure it doesn't work. I'm not on a char that I'd be willing to eat a death on to test it atm.

I would have to check the rest of the logs to verify, but in the other death example I posted there was also a 2 second delay from slain to load message. Not sure how much delay is on P99.

And Caiu, I'm pretty sure at least some are fixable, as nilbog changed the zone load name of the Hole based on what I found in Mcoy logs. I wouldn't put it past that EQmac logs were used for a lot of system messages.

Would definitely like confirmation if I'm wasting my time though.
