So really just be glad there are any maps with the new expansions at all.
Find the Everquest folder that you are playing EQ from. In that EQ folder there will be a maps folder. Put the TXT files into that maps folder.
Examples:
If you play from C:\Program Files\Everquest\
then put the TXT files into C:\Program Files\Everquest\maps
If you play from C:\Program Files\Sony\Everquest\
then put the TXT files into C:\Program Files\Sony\Everquest\maps
If you play from C:\Program Files\Sony\Everquest Trilogy\
then put the TXT files into C:\Program Files\Sony\Everquest Trilogy\maps
If you play from C:\Program Files\Sony\Everquest Gold\
then put the TXT files into C:\Program Files\Sony\Everquest Gold\maps
If you play from C:\Program Files\Sony\Everquest Platinum\
then put the TXT files into C:\Program Files\Sony\Everquest Platinum\maps

same problem with Windows 7
I have extracted to both everquest and everquest Trilogy and still no Brightfire Moor maps. I run Windows 7 Will try the extract to seperate folder and then copy to folder and see if that works.
if not is a pain cause I do not have POK maps, Tranuility maps etc....
