P99 was somewhat lucky in that EQ's developers simply left the old model in after replacing it.

As a side note, the major ship routes in Ocean of Tears and Erud's Crossing should've been changed to two ships per route instead of one long ago on "Blue" and are approaching that point in the timeline on "Green" as well.

Yep.

The boats had names too didn't they? Something tells me there were two that ran between BB to East Freeport because the boat wasn't always named the same (unless boats despawn) :p

You used to be able to use the tutorial to load any zone offline and explore it. Just the map, no mobs.

yes - two separate boats ran between Freeport and Butcherblock and two between Erudin and Qeynos.

because you've bene on p99 for so long that it just feels right to you. Fabrication of memories is a real and true phenomenon.

Reconstructive memory, Bartlett, right?

Im not sure about the BB docks in p99, but the freeport boat also parks at the wrong angle. should be perpendicular to the length of the dock.

This just in: boats seem to block arrows.
