I also notice that some of the locations given have the first 2 coordinates, or 1 & 3, but not the 2nd (1,2,3 for example may look like 1,2 or 1,3 in the quest lists) Was wondering if I was the only one with this issue. I have Infocenter, Eq2map, and Milquetowst Clock & Compass as my only UI add ins. Again Love the Infocenter, please keep up the good work.
Normally with a 2 coordinate /loc the numbers are the 1st and the 3rd numbers. Add a 0 in place of the 2nd coord. so a loc of 10, 20 should actually be 10, 0, 20 ingame (or on the eq2map)
If you do find one that is the 1st and 2nd numbers that loc would be totally useless. The second number in SOE's /loc system is the height location. Some of the writeups come from early in the game when people didnt understand the SOE coordinate system properly. Real-world convention is for the z axis to be the 3rd number so people tended to get mixed up and just write up the 1st 2 numbers.

Anyway, if you find a useless /loc in the Infocenter, your best bet is to mention it here along with the correct /loc and im sure DBurgdorf will fix it when he gets a chance.
