Almost every single person I knew didn't use maps. It is a fairly good sign we have good memories, good bearings and sense of direction. I know every old world zone as well as I know my own house. Kunark and Velious too more or less. The only time I ever saw someone using a map in my guild, was when Kunark first game out. We went to CoM when Kunark was still new, and the warrior in my guild group had a map on a laptop and was following it. It pretty much ruined the experience and none of us had ever done it before because we didn't need to. And now I know that zone inside out, because I learned it while doing 3 epics in there and plenty of levelling, and never even looked at a map of it.
I might feel differently in a huge world like TESO or something. But in EQ and especially with zones, maps were for retards. And I bet everyone who uses a map, will also look up walkthroughs of quests and google, "wot is teh best build for a mage!" in every fucking game. And spams chat in every MMO with dumb questions. I pity the fool who can't think for himself.

Most old RPG's were the same. You either made your own maps or you went without.
