boat needs to die

[geom]

I wait soooooo longg

[guineapig]

I waited almost a half hour this weekend.
I thought it was supposed to be 10-15 minutes tops?

Also, there really should be 2 boats running at any one time. Are we possibly missing one?

[eqdruid76]

Aye, once in 1999 I waited for what seemed like 4 hours for a boat.

It was actually 6 minutes.

[Malrubius]

That must have been before we had clocks. If you use one, it is actually a max of around 30 minutes currently.

[Yoite]

seems to only be one boat instead of two. the wait is extra long. its over 30mins waiting in EFP or in BB.

i think one of the boats sank in oot or was commandeered by pirates (aka Nalkin)

[JayDee]

It does make the journey to OOT extra grueling for melee (AC camping w/e) or darkie casters who bind there to camp shit.

For instance, my client shut on itself occasionally and I eat exp death occasionally so i must bind in places like oot when i venture there. Problem with that is there is no vendor I know of that will purchase seafury loot (even if there was, eventually I would have thousands of plat on me and have to bank).

So I am reduced to auctioning for a port offering 100-200 plat and waiting for a druid to finish his rounds before i can leave.

Ya! I 'gree! Is extraextra long! 'Specially iffin you gots folks waitin' fer rezzes onna other side, an' them timer is goin' downdown!

[guineapig]

Basically the max wait should be about 15 minutes.
The reason we are seeing waits up to 30 minutes is because somebody sank the other boat.

(Probably Nalkin)

Somewhere, out there in the beautiful blue ocean, Nalkin is sailing the high seas in his stolen OOT boat, hopefully in search of the fabled island of Kunark.

[Nocte]

Blame Bizarro Nalkin, his much more elusive, evil twin brother.

I drew up a schematic for a device to help you get across the ocean.

Second boat wasn't added until kunark.

NOTE: Veteran EverQuest players are not only likely to recall two boats, but Sister Isle being the first stop out of West Freeport. Though the second boat was not added until the Kunark era, the latter recollection is entirely correct: even though Antonica lies west of Faydwer, boats departing Butcherblock mysteriously traveled east to reach Freeport--the wrong direction. Project 1999 has corrected the direction of the boat so that it travels eastward to reach Faydwer from Antonica, and vice versa; this explains why Zach Reigh isle is the first stop out of Freeport, rather than Sister Isle as most remember.

Ok, I have to admit, this drawing completely made my day. POWERED BY COOKIES! Many many thanks. :)

[YendorLootmonkey]

I *hope* those are cookies.

[Theldios]

I *hope* those are cookies.

Don't get your hope up to high those look like big old squishy lumps!

[Overcast]

Anyone think the boats move too fast?

Uuur's MSPaints rape mine damn near everytime.
Good show sir, good show.
We should have a paint off

[Jete]

I think the ghost of Gmge took the boat from us.

[Humerox]

Traveling to get all his corpses back, eh? :D

Tout tout!

Can I hire you to make more portraits of Ninik's awesomeness?
Great job here
:)

[Alisa]

Lemme sugest you to start by elaborating on that rocket, so much potential there, a logo perhaps?
But whatever Uuur, do your thing, is your art.:)

Whats actually quite funny is I was about the biggest anti-boat people back when the idea of bringing a working model of one into p1999 was still in it's infancy....

And I find myself enjoying the hell out of the little boat ride to OOT when I wanna go kill furries or the Dino.

You meet tons of cool people, you all share that awkward "I'm stuck waiting for the elevator with a bunch of strangers" small talk.. And I get to boom-headshot the NPC at the docs on my necro to loot her fishing pole to pass the time. It's a full-on experience.

So yeah, I have nothing constructive really to add, except that I owe Chicanery an apology, he was right about the boats being needed for the full classic experience all along. ;)

God your real life must be miserable if boats are a full-on experience. I would rather make poopy in my own mouth.

All those wasted hours for nothing, absolutely NOTHING.

Kinda like continuously making new accounts to troll the message board of a 10 year old game you are no longer playing?

[nalkin]

I don't want to freak anybody out but yes the rumors are true. I upgraded my old boat and hijacked this nice spacious one. Sorry that yuns now have to wait half of a whole hour.

My band of pirates and I would, however, be willing to make a compromise of sorts. YUNS BRING US THE FOLLOWING:

1 full set of rubicite
1 amulet of necropotence
1 manastone
1 thex dagger
2 poopsocks

and the boat shall be rightfully returned from whence it came.

Seriously man? Please tell me it's just to fuel Ninik's rocket :confused:

I believe the boat comes from the east and travels west, then the other way around.

Could be wrong tho.
:cool:

[to0p]

3 poopsocks and we'll consider it....

[Jeice]

And Erudin's boat system does not work correctly, but the flying sharks bring back some memories.

[Allizia]

I waited over 9000! wtfs!

[nilbog]

And Erudin's boat system does not work correctly

Can you elaborate on this?

[to0p]

Can you elaborate on this?

It seems every time a boat gets there they just chain up these Erudites and take them over to Antonica to be sold as slaves...

I mean this boat is just all F'd up.

:p

[nilbog]

Well I've tried it a few times. You wait patiently on Sabrina (the concrete shuttle) until it takes you to the large boat. Then the large boat takes you into the next zone.

[Jeice]

When I was there with 2 other people the boat was out in the distance yet something was wrong with the concrete shuttle(s). There was one out at the boat and another sitting next to the dock. We were there for atleast an hour. I end up crashing my client, made lunch and came back and the 2 people I was with still had not seen a working shuttle.

[Nedala]

one time i was there the shuttle boat was too low in the water so i couldnt get on the big boat. after zoning out and in it was correct again. Also those stupid landsharks wouldnt let off me even after i used the telporters in erudin. they almost killed my twink.

[Brut]

This one time I got on the shuttle, got to the big boat, then walked into the pillar-thingy (fancy boating-lingo) which flinged me high up into the sails where I got stuck, hovering up there in the sky as the ship ditched me. Sad days.
