EQ2Map is essential. That said, it's very assy IMO. EQ2's built-in mapping system is the weakest of the weak sauce, an absolute travesty of "we put it in there because other people had a map but we didn't really try" design. Shitty shit shit shit mapping system. EQ2Map makes it bearable, but man there are a lot of tiny ass dots on there, and the cursor sometimes just can't distinguish between them.
But it is a billion times better than the built-in maps.
Sewers are an outstanding shortcut and much less laggy.
Bigtime. For those non goodie goodies, it's called 'Down Below' or 'Catacombs' on the city zone maps. Oddly enough, 14 months later, this map is still accurate. Come to think of it, maybe with liking EQ2 now, I should finish the rest
Not sure why this would be helpful. It's not getting from zone to zone thats the issue, it performance within the city zones themselves and you have to go into them to talk to the quest givers and junk.
I often wish we could save templates of our settings. When I'm soloing, I can consistently use High Performance no problem. In a group, I go to Very High Performance. In a city, I go to Extreme Performance, and make sure complex shader is down to -1. Looks like ass without complex shader, but I can move at 20-25fps (feels like. Haven't found the FPS monitor yet and fraps always hits my framerate in EQ2 just enough to be annoying).
