Please just remove boats and put ports in [Blue AND Red]

OP missed the boat?

If only boats could batphone. That would be handy.

Please.

30~ min wait for a boat is insane. Then the ride itself is another 15~ I've done the boat trips several times on both severs and in terms of just sitting around doing nothing I could log easily 4~ hours.

"But but...MAH CLASSIC"

It will hardly kill the market for ports -

Blue - Every druid/wiz is 99% of the time AFK at East Commons or simply will flat out refuse to respond.
Red - Server population simply too low and what Druids/Wizards are available may not want to even port anyone due to fear of being PKed at Rings.

Please just put ports in. The time I could spend getting to the other side of the world and exping and playing the game would skyrocket and it'd prevent me from logging off due to frustration of waiting around mindlessly. Please in the interest of self-sufficiency.

Blue is absolutely lethargic to grouping at times as well and finding a group is insane so you are forced to solo at times as well. God Forbid you are the same class as someone else in a zone thats in a group.

I understand you want to keep things a certain way for your no lifer poop sock raiders and hardcores, but come the f on. Ports at Boat Locations is ALL I ask for.

If you are not happy.....get-out of this server if your not happy......

Boats > Ports

Ports are jarring, you don't get a sense of scale or adventure and you don't meet anyone along the way - if you don't like taking the boat then don't !

One thing I will note however is that the boats we currently have are not the classic boats. Its my one complaint about them. Velious era, between FP and BB there were two boats running at any one time (sometimes they would even get bugged and spawn on top of one another). Usually when one was rolling up to FP, the other was arriving in BB. They also had different graphics from the one we see on the server today. I wish there was a way to bring them back.

As far as insta ports and soulbinders and such, go play live.

I took the boat today and enjoyed it.

It was there just as I arrived at the docks. Classic ftw.

I took the boat just now in TD to OT. Service was prompt and without issue.

+1 would boat again.

<Another recycled argument for a non-classic, world reducing "feature" that has progressively destroyed the entire MMO genre, and made p99 so attractive in contrast>
