it was enabled. boats were a place where melees would gank.
i'd rather it remain that way, but i guess it's not a huge deal if the boat can make ppl immune to pvp, especially considering spells can't be cast on them.
i can see ppl meeting at a boat to trade safely on their toons, instead of using level 1 alts. this may mean that boats become an important part of EQ economy, because not only to they travel between zones automatically, allowing ppl to auction to a greater audience, but these traders will all be gathered in one spot and can trade with eachother easily. (can ppl camp while on a boat?)
THEN the pvp hotspots will be around the docks, b/c ppl will be loaded with cash. although most smart ppl would, once they are done trading, jump off the boat into the middle of the ocean to cast gate (if they can gate).
... meh. or maybe ppl will just use level 1s mostly anyway. would really have to implement this to see what happens. would be interesting to see, but my vote is to just keep it classic and make it so melees can attack.
