Okay turns out the solution is painfully simple here it goes if you have reinstalled EQ and maps do not show DO NOT extract map files to:

C:\Program Files\EverQuest\maps

I know I did and it will not do you ANY good at all. Now if you do want the beautiful blessed maps just Extract them to:

C:\Program Files\Sony\EverQuest\maps

I know it hurts doesn't it, trust me I only figured this out but pure chance but that's all it was. I feel like an idiot. Took me days banging my head against the wall before it dawned on me. PLEASE tell everyone who has this problem. God bless Mapfiend.
