Did you participate in the EQ beta? The ship used by P1999 was a relic from the Everquest beta, before the current ships were added. Perhaps that's why you recall it, or you might've seen the beta ship in some very old screenshots or art assets. It's visible in the original loadscreen art, for example. P99 was somewhat lucky in that EQ's developers simply left the old model in after replacing it.

As a side note, the major ship routes in Ocean of Tears and Erud's Crossing should've been changed to two ships per route instead of one long ago on "Blue" and are approaching that point in the timeline on "Green" as well.

Yep.

Yep. Soandso

The boats had names too didn't they? Something tells me there were two that ran between BB to East Freeport because the boat wasn't always named the same (unless boats despawn) [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

You used to be able to use the tutorial to load any zone offline and explore it. Just the map, no mobs.

yes - two separate boats ran between Freeport and Butcherblock and two between Erudin and Qeynos.

Oh yeah looking at the goblin picture, that IS the old boat. Why is the one i'm riding look so correct? :O

because you've bene on p99 for so long that it just feels right to you. Fabrication of memories is a real and true phenomenon.

Reconstructive memory, Bartlett, right?

Im not sure about the BB docks in p99, but the freeport boat also parks at the wrong angle. should be perpendicular to the length of the dock.

[_nonsense_]

This just in: boats seem to block arrows.
