WTB another boat from FP to BB

for the love of all that is holy please add another boat to this circuit.. please

^ not sure why but that screenie cracks me up. The visual is one thing but my favorite is the line, "please don't fall out the water has sharks ty". Such a polite request.

I caught the boat from BB and zoned into oot like I was coming from FP. Has this been addressed in another thread?

I'm not sure if this is related, but I'm also unclear on what route(s) were implemented. Your post reminded me of part of the Burning Rapier quest, which suggests that after the boat "threads the needle" (goes between two huge rocks with sirens on them), you should jump overboard to find an item. The route it's referring to is the upper black line in this old-school map:

I don't remember the P99 boat ever threading that needle, so maybe they've only implemented one route which works both ways? Or, my memory might just suck. Either way.

VictoryARC, in the original setup, the boats did indeed go in the wrong direction even if they zoned to the correct zone. I remember seeing a map of ott in 1999 and folks musing at the boat situation.

Im waiting boat in EFP for over 20 min now ..

Is there only 1 boat?

Its supposed to have 2 boats on this ride. Both leave BB and FP in same time. The speed is faster then sow. That what i remimber about boats. It was not possible to go faster then them even with levitate.

If i remimber well, its supposed to have a shout in zone when it arrive.

Travelers entering the Ocean of Tears by boat from West Freeport will briefly moor at Zachariah Reigh Isle, so named for the NPC that stands vigilant on this island's dock, before continuing eastward. A merchant can be found in the inn. Prior to landfall in Faydwer, travelers will make a final stop at the eponymous Sister Isle. Named after the divine sisterhood of Erollisi Marr worshipers that call this island home, Sister Isle's inn is renowned for selling the Kiola Nut, a key ingredient in the armors of Master Wu.

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.

That makes absolutely no sense. This server is meant to replicate Classic, and yet, the devs "fixed" something? I thought when I took the boat from Butcherblock that something was different. Why on earth would p99 change something to be the opposite of Classic?

Are you going to complain about something so small and innocuous as THAT?
