I voted to keep melee enabled on boats. . .
Having said that, I do see major problems and much griefing that will happen. Boats can be difficult enough as it is without pvp, not to mention all the pvp that will happen while the people are simply waiting for boats.
Corpse runs WILL be hell, people WILL be bored and simply ride the boat all day to kill casters (if enabled casting it would still be difficult on casters because of limited running space. . . still wondering what would happened if rooted on boat though)
I also believe there should be NO safe zones/areas. People riding boats all day long avoiding pvp isn't a fancy idea imo, but not that terrible since there will be no global OOC.. if global OOC was live it would be even worse with non-pvp boats.
Overall though, being on a boat would be quite distracting, don't know how casters would concentrate enough to throw a fireball :-P <-- reason why casting never was there on launch of EQ.
So people should learn, and learn fast, a few lessons of Norrath:
1. Life is hard
2. Traveling is harder
3. Watch out for boarding parties ready to levitate onto, or cast on you from passing islands
4. Make friends, don't put yourself in stupid situations
