A TL'r is only the first ripple.

Keep the damn things out.

1) Slippery slope. Either substantiate your point with evidence or drop it.

2) A GM providing TL services is the exact same thing as having an NPC act as a TLer; the only difference is that having the GM do it takes time away from the GM doing something more important than porting people around.

A TLer would be an ideal solution until the skiff is fixed, if only to alleviate "work" for the GMs porting people around, but only for this one spot. Verant did the same thing every time the boats broke, no reason Project 1999 should be using GMs instead of NPCs for the job.

But that may give them the excuse not to fix it.
I'm just playing devil's advocate here.

I'm giving the real classic experience here. most people have to wait like 30min - 2 hours for the boat (Amelindair) [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

[Ektar]

well before the boats they simulated that with timed spawns of the TLers. but hey. if you want to take this on as ytour responsibility who am I to try to talk you out of it.

[Tewaz]

We should have a candlelight vigil for them.

[Ektar]

Or just have felix the cat turn his bag into a boat.

Is there a way to get the info about this boat added to the FAQ?

Before playing here I tried to do my basic research of reading that and a few other things, which said that boats were working, only to roll an Erudite and then spend nearly an hour waiting and then having to dig on forums to find the truth of the matter. Many people have posted a similar experience, so I think it would go a long way to help new people if things like this were updated in the FAQ.

Props to Amelinda for taking the on the burden of helping people deal with this. Though, a TL NPC, while not ideal, would be good in the interim as well.

[Ektar]

putting this in an FAQ would be like posting any random bug in the faq. So, like, not really. Under the idea of why this bug and not that one that is also detrimental to those who don't know about it. and you don't post them all because the faw would be littered with ever changing Qs with As all saying kgimmieamin

[Ektar]

this, of course, only holds for a world where faw = faq

[Deathrydar]

OK Erudties, I am level 10 now! But I am going on vacation for a week.
Hang in there....I should be around to teleport all of you off of the island in about a month or so!!
