Game Mechanics: Kunark boats shouldn't be announcing

[heartbrand]

Currently in zones like BB the boat arrival is announced, this shouldn't be in yet:


------------------------------
March 27, 2001 2:00 am
------------------------------

- Ships will now be announcing their arrival in most zones. They will
also be announcing their progress to any zone they travel through. Any
of those zones that they are not currently making announcements in will
be added in the next patch or two.

The only text I have for this is when Maiden's Voyage departs Firiona Vie. I can disable this by timeline, but I'd like to have the other messages and complete them all at once.

Glisse Bluesea shouts 'The Maiden's Voyage has departed the outpost at Firiona Vie. Please be ready to board the shuttles shortly, if you desire to make the journey to Kunark.

Left a toon afk at the BB docks on eqmac for a couple hours, never got any of the boat related messages.

just curious but sometimes it feels like the boats are backwards here on red99 from FP to BB

the first stop in OOT from BB port is sister island. i thought thats where the first stop from FP should be.

Sorry to necro bump, but was this "boat announcement" information still needed for all zones?

I stumbled across this log file that happened to list the BB zone messages, even has the time stamps if you need to adjust travel / announcement time. If you still need the rest of the messages I'll put me searching cap on:

P.S. man that GM event log was painful, so annoying that skunk. Seemed tied to the cazic / inny LFay event strangely

Your bump reminded me that We found this and a few other announcements from logs in January. I added a couple of new ones to oasis but forget this and qeynos. It’ll be added by the next patch.

For future reference, some of the others that are pending patch:

Firiona Vie:
Tai Glimmershawl shouts 'The good ship Maiden's Voyage is now departing our fair docks, bound for Faydwer. If you were unfortunate enough to have missed it, it shall return as soon as possible. We will keep you informed of its status. Thank you, and may Tunare bless you!"

Oasis:
Rack Stonebelly shouts, 'Da Bloated Belly be leaving da Overdere now
Rack Stonebelly shouts, 'Da Barrel Barge will be here soon soon!

South Qeynos:
Port Authority Officer shouts 'Hear ye, hear ye! The ship bound for the far island of Odus is now departing the Qeynos docks. On time and on schedule, all hail Antonius Bayle!'
Port Authority Officer shouts 'The boat to Odus is about to depart from the Erudin docks. It will arrive at the Qeynos docks in a matter of minutes. Remember, smuggling is a serious offense!'

We still need any boat announcements, if any ever existed, for Freeport/BBM ship and Erudin’s docks.

Been trying to search on this a bit, I'm confident that there should be no shout in Butcherblock Mountains for the Butcherblock-to-Freeport boat.

That GM event log was an unedited dump that lasted about an hour and no other shouts were heard. That was June 2001. I looked at Mccoy's log files and one his his toons also spent an hour in Butcherblock in February 2002 and never heard a shout other than the FV boat arriving / departing. So I would suspect off that there was no Freeport shout (although apparently EQ2 had a 'Freeport Harbormaster' boat shouter?), but that there would be a Erudin Docks boat shouter based off there being one in Qeynos.

Do you know by chance what the NPC names were from the boat shouts by zone? I can't tell if they were an actual NPC that you could see or if they are invisible NPCs. If I had their names (maybe a ShowEQ crawl would see them) that could help track them down.

Else need to get lucky and find a log or screenshot at the right time.
