| Vanilla EQ: The "sword on the ground" or "follow the clouds" trick for directions.
The fact that maps in early EQ were so woefully useless and direction sense was a skill that could lead you in completely the wrong direction if it wasn't levelled actually forced the players into learning every nook and cranny of a zone. In doing so you couldn't help but feel a sense of immersion in the world. Sadly, that would never wash now in the era of piss-easy transport but I still remember running around Greater Faydark spamming the fuck out of direction sense and /loc. |
