There is a little program called EQ zone explorer - it uses the tutorial,
and not all zones are explorable - but some are. Can be a little
tempermental to get fired up - but for the zones that work - it's great to
just walk around and learn layout.

http://home.tampabay.rr.com/estembler/tristram/eze.htm - note, the creator
says he doesn't play anymore - and future changes to EQ may make this
inoperable - but it works at the moment.

I've never been inside MM castle either - but you can do it with this
program. It lands you on top of the castle - and you are stuck with a human
that can only walk, but you can't be hurt from falling - and you can't drown.

I also explored Kedge a bit - although where it lands you is in the middle
of the thing.

It takes me FOREVER to learn the layout of mazes - my last name should be
Wrongway - but after going from the zoneline in upper guk - to the first
lguk zone about a dozen times - I THINK I won't get lost next time (maybe).

MM castle is simply stunning - too bad it's so deadly few ever get to
appreciate it.
