Any ETA on fixing the Freeport boat so we can actually board it? It is riding too high in the water so there is no way to get up on it.

So would this make it a fail boat?

Well, I was able to get on the boat using levitate, but the boat just takes you to the zone but never actually zones to OOT. It just goes to the zone wall then returns to the dock lol.

What do you expect it doesn't even have a crew.

Ok, update number 2. The boat finally zoned me to OOT, but without a boat. I am now swimming across OOT.

hehe the boats... always the boats... remember the time when SoE gave up and just implemented port NPCs?

Maybe our P99 Crew can show us, that they are far better than SoE ;)
gogo :)

Well, to make a long story short, the server lost track of what boat is in what zone. Nilbog identified exactly what's causing it, and we've gotten it to work. At this point, it's just a matter of making sure its never possible to happen again.

I know you guys are working on it, and I'm not trying to hound you, but what's the status on this?
I have one character stuck in OOT, and my necro is stuck on the docks because he can't get onto the boat. I don't mind swimming where I need to go if I could even get out of Freeport.

I've spent the last 2 days figuring out the entire boat system :P

If this last testing run of both boat systems is successful, then they are fixed. I imagine that the server will be patched sooner than later, to implement the changes.

Thanks Nilbog.
I guess I'll check back in later tonight. Sitting in EC watching all the auctions of stuff I can't afford is only fun for a short while.

so if i understand right, the boats had their routes, what are async to the zone stuff? so if a clitch happens, they went out of sync and would only be sometimes or never at the right time when zoneing could happen?
who the shit programs stuff like that? oh wait yea 11 year ago it wasn't possible to sync stuff :D

Good Job P99 crew :)

If that was after the network outage, then he DT'd me as well, and resed me right after for my key corpse =D. was quite convenient haha.

Also, i'm in your pic slaying Sen. lol

Just to be clear, does this mean that the boat fix is still being tested before going live?
