I've pointed this out before too. TLs on a time is NOT classic, 24/7 TLs when boat is broken is classic.

The boats were part of the reason why the various languages were part of the game. Anyone else remember joining boat groups to learn various other languages during the rides? Made for fun RP.

Though I don't really mind the TLers and their timers much, it's pretty harsh on dark races to pop up on sister island and be splattered, whereas i suppose on a boat they could have invised up or whatever before the trip and avoided them, but you can't TL without being uninvis.

Wrong, Translocator will teleport you while you are invis.

If that was changed that's pretty sweet...If i were to do anything I'd make the boats STATIC in their zones, and put the translocators on the boats...assuming the boats had collision detection. That'd still allow for some stowaways or unfortunates to bypass some kos monsters and you'd have that great boat model.

I think TLs should be up all the time. I am not a casual player, but a lot of people here are and if you only have half an hour to do somthing 15 mins should not have to be spent waiting on someone to pop and send you on your way.

As much as I loathe waiting for the TLers, it really brings back the immersion that EQ offered back in the day. It's a different world when traveling that far actually means something - you're more aware of dying and you always have to carry supplies.

As far as "casual gamers" go, you're playing a hell of a harsh game to expect to get much done in 30 minutes.

With that said, I'd prefer if the boats were back, despite the problems they had. Nothing beats a nice calming fishing trip on the boat to Iceclad Ocean only to get smashed by frost giants and have to run back from Qeynos.

I actually enjoy the wait, even if it's not on a boat. Sure it can be tedious, but it gives me time to look through my bags, grab some buffs, sell off anything I might not need that's unknowingly weighing me down, play the auction channel, buy food and water, screw around a bit in OOT, check vendors.

All kinds of stuff I normally wouldn't be able to wind-down and do if I was constantly "in the zone" so to speak.
