Default Public transportation needs more funding

From time to time, I find my self having to take the boat, even on my druid. And each time I wonder if the boat are on strike or something. I would guess since this time schedule is so unnaturaly far between, the programmers might have mixed up time programming on game time and real time?

At least: can the GM's have some sand giants push the boats to speed up this public transportation.

Lol, boats take like 40 mins I think? Maybe it's 30 but I know it is a while. Worst thing is when you afk and miss it and have to wait again /nod

That is one at least 38 minutes. That's what I timed it at from my random arrival one time. I was blown away so I checked my log for when I said "at boat" and it was 38 minutes. I wonder what the max time is.

Or how you shouldn’t panic and try to move as the shuttle to the boat passes through the dock itself with you still on it

Not only did I panic and attempt to move to stay on the shuttle, causing me to step onto the dock and then not be able to get back on the shuttle in time, but I saw the exact same thing happen to another noob like a week later on his first boat attempt

Weee another 40 min wait. Get fucked

I’m surprised someone hasn’t timed the boats and created a time table for all of them.

Good rant
8/10 for the RP factor.

But yes, a round trip is like 40 minutes real time. Porting was always an amazing thing and not found like this in other MMORPGs that I played in era. Druid was always a popular class, the SOW and ports gave mobility to the player base.

Going from crawling around noobie zones to your friends finding you and one has a high level druid. Now you are running around, sometimes as a wolf!, and can instantly go to the other side of the world, that would take you like an hour of goofing around and sight seeing the game. Big oldschool CRT in the original UI.. no other games like it at the time for me. Nintendo 64 was still for sale at Wal-Mart.

tl/dr: Kelethin druid guild should hire the gnomes to fix the OOT druid rings, it's been in disrepair long enough. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] j/k

Here are the original ships

an awesome custom quest would be for there to be an island with pirates on it that if you do a quest it respawns the island for like 8 hours and the boats come every 5 minuets, but if you leave the mobs up the boats go back down to their once in a life time rate they are set to now.
