Just published a new set of map files. As I was farming for tradeskill drops or traveling through a zone the last few months, I added ground spawns or remapped areas. Many of the redos are significant improvements. Some highlights:
Original EQ

Permafrost Caverns – Added ground spawns for Permafrost Crystals
Kunark
Warsliks Wood – Added ground spawns for Scroll in a Bottle and Meditation Blanket
Luclin
Akheva Ruins – Added Section of Parchment ground spawn
Shadeweaver’s Thicket – Added tradeskill locations and Gor Taku merchants. All these years and I never knew some of the aliens were merchants!
Shar Vahl – Added Shar Vahl forge
Planes of Power
Plane of Tranquility – Added Rune of Xor ground spawn
Gates of Discord

Noble’s Causeway – Added Soulstone Shard ground spawn
The Ruined City of Dranik – Cleaned up eastern side of the zone. Will eventually redo other parts to match.
Scars of Velious
