Boats working isn't classic. Riding a boat was a shitshow in classic.

But they worked in that they were kinda there. Just stuff would happen like:

- getting attacked on the boat by a shark and you can't fight back
- falling through the boat into the ocean and having to gate, swim, or die
- taking too long to zone and the boat leaving before you actually zoned, causing the boat to leave without you and you sitting in the middle of the ocean
- people /dueling on the boats causing all kinds of strange issues

what else?

Another thing: They weren't always kinda there. Quite often they would be down.

Adding ports to the boat locations is the exactly why modern MMOs suck. Oh it takes this long to travel from point A to point B? Its too dangerous? Lets just add a port at point A to point B.

Oh you dont know where the quests are? Lets add a HUGE glowing "?" above the quest NPC.

Oh you dont have any Idea where to go? Lets make a map, add POIs and then give you a arrow pointing in that direction.

Oh you messed up when you created your guy? Lets just let everyone flip flop to what ever class they want when ever they want.

Oh you think that gear is ugly? or you dont like the way this looks? Lets just add an npc or menu so you can make your guy look how ever you want.

These ideas destroyed the unforgiving worlds that we once loved. UO, EQ and a few others.

Working boats was one of the first things that drew me to this server.

Where did I say that there was no boat travel involved?

you said TD is an alternative to boats. how can it be an alternative if you have to take a boat to get there?
