The ship really should have a small ticket fee (would also be fine with a single lifetime charge to always use it). Never understood why it didn't, there's even a sign for tickets at the dock. It should also be noted that traveling via boat and a special magical portal place are pretty different.

Luclin isn't just another continent, it's a whole other world. They definitely made it feel like just another random place with the way they implemented it though, which is part of why it felt so wrong. Vah Shir wouldn't be forced to stay there until level 30 without the Nexus, there's always Wizard and Druid ports (which also can be said of getting there), and I'm perfectly fine with making it more difficult for low level characters to travel. It's important to maintain the ecosystems of those starting areas, not just have everyone rushing off to a place like Paludal.

Re ship prices: I agree to a point. I would make it scale with char level. I would make it free for players under lev 5, and then keep increasing it to like 25pp at lev 50. BUT Ship system would needed to be MORE evolved and hitting more locations.

Re Druids/Wiz - see my post above - I am actually completely against these guys making cash from casting a spell [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Best solution to MOON problem would have been not being a moon [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Re: Paludal - if they didn't give that zone insane ZEM to sell the expansion, nothing would have happened. I believe that a race SHOULD mostly spend first 10-20 levels in their native area, unless you traveling across the world to play with a friend. Preventing travel by level forcefully is bad game design. If I want to be Human Druid and my friend is Dwarf - we literally do not meet until like lev 30. Which is bad.

The people who invented the first space ships were brilliant. That doesn't mean anybody should actually want to use them 200 years later. Ideas are limited by means of execution. Everquest has amazing ideas that need to be completely reworked in their execution, in order for classic Everquest as it was envisioned to actually exist and continue to be relevant as things have evolved.
