P99 wiki-style way to track in-game boat locations

[Ele]

From our wiki:

NOTE: Veteran EverQuest players are not only likely to recall two boats, but Sister Isle being the first stop out of West Freeport. Though the second boat was not added until the Kunark era, the latter recollection is entirely correct: even though Antonica lies west of Faydwer, boats departing Butcherblock Mountains mysteriously traveled east to reach Freeport--the wrong direction. Project 1999 has corrected the direction of the boat so that it travels eastward to reach Faydwer from Antonica, and vice versa; this explains why Zach Reigh isle is the first stop out of Freeport, rather than Sister Isle as most remember.

Shouldn't be that hard. Just need to make a timer for each and sync it with boats. Will have to find a way to sync it back up on server resets and what not. I would be willing to host the site if someone set it up, depending on prices of course. I dunno anything about that.

I frequent the boats frequently.

Wasn't it possible at one point to cast Spirit of Wolf on boats/barges/canoes?

easiest solution is for folks to just park a toon (I suggest a nome) at each dock and stream live a video feed with a timer...incoming new guild <Coast Guard>.

I remember when Nalkin had his boat service in OOT back when the boats were broken. Maybe <Coast Guard> can commandeer the little boats and keep watch of the larger vessels and provide shuttle services between islands.

That would rock; zoning on a row boat & making it all the way across the ocean.

[Ravager]

<Coast Guard> should be made up of bards so that they can quickly rescue travelers who fall off the boats and recover bodies from shark attacks.

You ought to be happy the boats work at all on here. On live they sucked ass. And it was only till the Devs did the Levitate trick did they work on here.

But I may be wrong but I also think they are too long zone to zone copared to live. But really who really remembers that far back other than Ele and Rogean lol. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

on live it was an 11 min roundtrip from BB to EFP to BB, here its like 21.5 mins

It was never that short on live, at least not during classic.

I do kinda miss the original boat models, I wonder why they aren't usable here. At least the kunark and velious boats are right though [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
