To All Of The Players Stuck On Odus Because Of The Broken Platform:

[stormlord]

I like to swim in the water and watch the ship pass by. Then I dive underwater and go to the bottom and drown and repeat the whole process making shapes on the ocean bottom. Nothing greater than swimming across the entire zone just like sharks would and getting killed if you don't swim (+1).

I think after all this me and sharks are closer brothers than ever.

[Amelinda]

You all know to /tell amelinda I am in Qeynos and want to go to erudin please." right?

if i dont' respond fairly quickly then petition but i promise i'm moving everyone as fast as i can when i get the tell saying they wanna go.

I am sorry the boat is down for now :/

[TheBlackSheep]

Now you know what I was referencing in my /tell to you last night. :)

As stated, I didn't know at the time, mainly because I had only been on the server like a day and didn't know much, short of what I read on the FAQ.

But hey, all is well. I did it the ole fashioned way.

So I've kinda been out of the loop for a while, but is putting a TLer on the dock while the boat is fixed out of the question? I mean, I hate to be that guy that posts a suggestion that's been ruled out already... but reading through the thread it seems like putting that little gnome bastard or whatever it was back in is easier than having a guide be in charge of zoning people

I think these devs may consider that a blow on the "fail" side if they did that. They worked so godamn hard to get these boats working and now........ [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Having a guide do it is just the same, but just sillier if the TLer is an option... imo. They worked so hard but the fact is it's not working :P. Once it's fixed, take the TLer out and the boat's working again.

/tell Amelinda I am in Qeynos and want to go to erudin please.
Hail, Translocator Gnomedude. Travel to erudin.


preeeeeeetty much the same. except the translocator never sleeps and has no other responsibilities.


*note, even the hail part is optional

Yeah, but imagine a brand new player coming on board and starting in Erudin. He will see that TL'er and think "same ole, same ole". I don't think thats the image the development team wants. Granted, it's no good having it broke either.

In any event, this is kind of upsetting at this point. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

A TL'r is only the first ripple.

Keep the damn things out.

New player sees TLer and thinks same ol', same ol'.

New player sits at the dock for over an hour (as was posted above in this thread) and it never comes and thinks same ol', same ol'.

The end result is the same, except situation 2 he loses an hour. idc whatever they wanna do.

TLers were in for a looong time before the boats made their debut. if you're trying to argue that once the "first ripple" occurs there's no going back, you're wrong by historical evidence. Furthermore, a guide doing it is a TLer.


but, again, I'm just arguing for the sake of arguing and increasing my post count with something substantial. whateeeeever they wanna do is quite fine with me.

Create a TLer with slightly different quest text saying, "somethin's screwed use this in the mean time" everyone is happy.
