    There is a /loc text command that you can use to find your current location and adjust from there.

    You type /loc into the chat box in game.
    It will tell you your current coordinates.
    Compare these to the location you are trying to get to.
    Move in a direction and then /loc again to see if you have gotten closer to your destination.
    When your /loc matches the coordinates of your destination, you have arrived!

    /Loc brings up your current coordinates in a message in your text box and /Loctrack puts the coordinates up in the op left of the screen in very large print. The 3 numbers refer to yourx/y/z coordinates in a given scene

    @Khalest, I typed /loc into my chat window in game 6 times:

    [​IMG]

    I was in these spots when I did them:

    [​IMG]

    • The First number is North/South
    • The Second number is Up/Down
    • The Third number is East/West
    Loc: (0,0,0) will be the center of the map.

    Make sense?

    Use /loctrack to continually show your position in the upper left corner.
