Can we at least be given something to do while we wait? Maybe we can hail an NPC nearby and they tell us jokes or trivia or riddles or something.
Yes, I demand this in-game. Don't even think about suggesting that I just go on the internet or something.

But but ...... (wait for it) ...... that's not classic!!!!!!!
Lol. Isn't that what they says?
What I did back then was fish and craft while watching for "/shout boat!"
Honestly, there should be lots of things to do, like gambling and contests.
But ...... that's not classic!!!!!!! (that's what they says isn't it)
The least that could be done, while staying within the limits of "classic," is to hire a guide to run a series of gambling or contest events 24 hours around the clock at the port(s) to give people who're waiting some kind of entertainment. It's not too much to task a few people to do that. In my warped opinion - i'm so warped I live in multiple universes. It would need to be well organized, not winged or on the fly. The funnest events/games are planned or designed beforehand to establish continuity and fairness. Perhaps players could be rewarded for directing these events by granting them platinum. You remember getting a free lunch at school if you worked for half an hour washing the trays of the 4th, 5th and 6th graders? That might be too much to ask, but come on, something like this could work.
People need to remember that back then our mind was not on kunark or velious coming out in the "near" future. The future was not written yet. The atmosphere was more relaxed in tone. It's different now because people know what to expect, so things are a lot more rushed. My advice is to simmer down and not get so caught up in the grind. Take a break from it. Events like this can help us to remember it's just a game, and that we need to be diverse characters in order to fully exercise our free time.
We're people when you remove the hitpoints and armor class and level. People need more than just a grind.
