OOT Backwards

[Evilmog]

As far as direction goes, P99 has it right, Live had it backwards. Going west from Freeport (As it was in live) should take you to Commonlands, not Butcherblock.

so what you're saying then is it's not classic... because right ot wrong, the boat went the other way in live

Did anyone else try to click on the little ship hoping it was a shockwave animation?

I got the feeling of "Day 12: We shot over 11,000 lbs of meat, but were only able to bring back 100, for reasons unbeknownst to me. Jonah fell off of the wagon.. err back of the ship, and broke his ankle. 3 cattle were lost crossing the OoT."

Little Billy has typhoid! You've passed a gravestone marker, would you like to examine it closer? (Y/N)

It's a small thing, but the path of the boat in that map isn't totally correct. The boat doesn't actually pass between the 'Twin Tines' (as they are labeled) I camped the two spawn sirens on the north rock for several levels on more than one character here on P99, every time I've had to jump off and swim to them, as the boat passes about 500 units south of the described path.
If you were to string a line from the point (4000,-2700) to about (-2000, -200) thats more the path of the boat during that portion of the trip.

Edit: For unfathomable reasons, the coordinates in OOT are apparently reversed and read (vertical, horizontal) rather than the way you'd normally read an ordered pair. Don't let that confuse you when navigating.... its (y,x)

Yeah when I came here for a kiola nut to do the stein of moggok quest having had looked up the map and knew I should get off at the "first stop from freeport," imagine my surprise when I had to wait for the boat all over again to go to the correct island once I figured out what happened. Boooo.

Oh so this server has only one boat; and the zone is now in the correct orientation? Haven't zoned to oot yet, good to know!!

Wow, something I never knew in all my time of playing EQ was that OT on live is/was backwards. This then calls into play the validity of the "classicness" of this server. Believe me I am aware that not everything can be made classic as far as client end issues etc. But if you are stating that the purpose of this server is to be "as close to classic as possible" then why intentionally make something un-classic by correcting the incorrect boat path? Was it not said that all things on this server will emulate the timeline of classic including all changes, nerfs, enhancements and bugs? Just my 2cp but I think they should at least hold a vote to see whether or not to revert the boat path. Overall I feel the devs and such have done an excellent job with the recreation of classic EQ allowing us to "re-live" our EQ days, I just feel that in terms of keeping things classic, doing things like this is counter-productive in recreating the classic expirience.
