Oh trust me. A fix is coming [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] They are working on it. I am only offering to help for now because (A) it's my job to help players and (b) the boats are inexplicably breaking. as soon as it's fixed you guys can wait for the boat again [You must be logged in to view images.

I was wondering if it would be a good idea to pre-position the TL NPC's so that they can easily be deployed if needed. They would not be visible / active until some variable is set on the server for example. This way, if it's determined that the boats between point A and B are broken, a quick value change will enable these NPC's (on the boat interval spawn timer) to facilitate player transportation while the issue is being reviewed and addressed. As some have noted, it sucks to sit there for so long without a boat showing up for new players and for experienced players, all assuming the boat is just taking a long time.

If you think about it, fixing the boats is a comprehensive thing. The physics of waves and fluid dynamics has got to be baffling. And ships... How do you keep them floating without having someone with a bucket to unload the water from the leaking hull? How does the captain navigate without a map or gps unit? How are you going to keep the ship mates fed? How will they code the captain well enough so that he can evade a storm and still reach his destination? The more you think about it, the more you realize it's not easy.

Sharks really aren't much different from us. I keep a close eye on them. I can see patterns in their movements and I swear that they have families just like we do. They move their mouths and talk too I just can't hear the words. If you come down here for a moment and stop the rushing you might see it too. Humbling how sharks can tell us so much about ourselves. I'm still learning to this day about myself because of them. Heck, they might be able to help us fix the boats somehow if understood them.

Wow....you've spent way too much time in the ocean looking for that boat, haven't you?

I'm ok I found an island so I have stopped making illuminati symbols on the ocean bottom with my corpses. It was a real riot for a while though. I will continue my shark expeditions from the island here. I am writing a book about how to solve the boat problem and I think the sharks offer valuable insight. I will share more information later after I have compiled my research. Thanks for caring.

You all know to /tell amelinda I am in Qeynos and want to go to erudin please." right?

if i dont' respond fairly quickly then petition but i promise i'm moving everyone as fast as i can when i get the tell saying they wanna go.

I am sorry the boat is down for now :/

Is there way to make some npc that you can hail and then ask him to teleport you and just have the whole process automated until they fix the boats instead of having a secret petition portal service that only players who have read this post on the forum would know about? :P

RUN ON SENTENCE WOOHOO.
