Why buy this when you can get it all on the web?

Seems rather excessive to have to pay $$$ to get a book that details the zones in the game when you can go to any number of websites and get the same content.

EQ Atlas is awesome! ;)

Yes it wouldn't normally make sense to purchase maps when you can get them for free online. This makes an awesome collector's item type of thing though. I saw a sample of one of the maps from my e-mail newsletter and they look awesome! 3D Maps and so pretty and detailed, to boot! From what I understand it also includes maps of the new Planes as well. :) I am totally getting this! Plus now I can throw out all the maps that are taking up a large chunk of my EQ notebook (yes, I know I'm a dork). :) So anyway if you like pretty things it's not a bad purchase...

Almost a complete waste

Not much for your money here; "Atlas" is just a collection of little facts and tid-bits about the zones of EQ. This collection would actually be quite useful except for the fact that almost all of the information it offers is readily accessible from a number of EQ web sites. The only thing going for "Atlas" is that it offers players with poor connections the opportunity to find the information they seek without waiting forever on their browsers.

Bottom line : You will likely want to save your money.

I like the looks

Unlike the maps from [another website], you can tell where you are at it appears. Landmarks are there for you to see. If you look at the map, you can see the camps and anything else you need. In keeping with the spirt of the game exploring is still needed to find some of the things you will need to know of. And unlike maps from Eqatlas you dont have to wait till the owner of the sight has time or the level to go into a zone to "draw" it out.
I spent over [$$$] in ink and paper to print out the maps from EqAtlas, should have waited to spend [$$$] on the offical one. LOL

This is beautiful atlas, not a cheat guide!

"location grid, spawn points, shop locations,.. zone information would include mobs, drops and quests."

What you describe is a cheat book. I'd rather have an atlas. Beautiful maps, history and background, it's like a National Geographic Atlas book, but for EverQuest.

So there are no Meridians or any other orienteering guides other than landmarks? I guess those of you that think that having a location grid would be a cheat guide have never read a REAL map. I'd rather spend my money on the ink and paper on that "other" site.

EQ atlas a nice addition for the EQ RPG

The maps might not contain any grids, it does have lots of information about all the zones. This added information is more usable if you also play the EQ RPG. So you can show your players all the great locations in the world of norrath and beyond

To buy or not to buy?

From the information i have available, this atlas will not have their maps layed out in a 'Grid' fashion. Most maps in real life have "grid coordinates" of longitude and latitude, so why not this atlas??

For the Advanced and Expert Everquest gamers, the maps will be more of a hinderance and makes the Atlas more or less useless imho, as most tend to use grid locations to find out were they are or were they want to go.

For the Beginer or Intermediate, this Atlas will contain much usefull information about zones/places they will travel.

Overview: the zone information in it will be helpful but if they had put in a little extra effort and did the maps in grid fashion, this would be a hot item. As it is, its more of a collectors/newbie item than anything else.

Location numbers are important

...location grid numbers are vital to maps in everquest, and so far in previews this map book is lacking them which makes it unfortunately worthless. It's pretty, but location numbers are an integral part of the game and without them this atlas is of only minor use, it is decorative but not functional. If you are looking for a book to get an everquest-playing friend, I would suggest not bothering with this one, at least in its present state.

A book only a newbie could love..

Nice, somewhat informative. Well drawn maps, but not really helpful to someone like a newbie who's lost and /shouting for directions. The average novice would find it useless I think. Yea sure it shows landmarks, that's if the person can find those even. Location grids are by far easier to navigate with and its very easy to get lost in allot of zones and not be able to see landmarks that could be familiar. I agree with "This one Guy", get a REAL map. Only good as a collectors item you ask me. Get better maps online.
