I ride the boats every now and then for nostalgia. They are fun. Part of the adventure. Some of my fondest memories are being dumped out into the ocean because my 28.8k modem didn't load fast enough.

Taking the boat like taking the bus. Poor people.

Agreed.

So, I can see both sides of this. There have been times when I really resented waiting on the boat to arrive. It can often be tedious and boring. However, it really can make the world feel "big". Especially in the early levels, before you can afford or have access to TPs. Running across the world was indeed a "journey". Something is lost when you take away Travel Time.

It's the same thing with Death Penalties. I really, really hate EXP loss and the possible loss of gear. However, it really does make death something to "fear". Dangerous places can cause anxiety and I will take extra precautions when traveling through them. There is a feeling of relief when I get through them unscathed. Something is lost when you take away Death Penalties.

Anyway, while we are on the topic, can we get the original, classic boat back?

So keep the boats and add a translocator. Want to take a boat? Do it. You want to translocate? Do it. Problem solved.

No wreck on a raft?

A life not partially spent wondering why this exists as a "feature," never mind as a thing someone actually decided, "Yes, a wreck on a raft," is a life of missed love, missed chances, and bitterness.
