Oh, don't take my word for it!

They might not work, I haven't actually checked yet.

They do! Most of the time [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

There is currently one one boat making round trips via OoT and another single boat going between Erudin and Qeynos, so your wait time can be up to a half an hour if you just missed the boat.

Also the boat model being used in OoT is not the same model that was used back in the day. All that being said the boat does work!

I've studied it, you know. 60% of the time, the boat works everytime! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

As strange as it may seem, this is exactly the sort of thing that makes me like this game.

yup - who has not rushed to the docks after hearing "BOAT" in shout / ooc at least once every day in classic heh, hoping to make it, or worse get on boat, gone AFK and mistimed it and come back to the PC to find that you are on the boat on it's return journey:-P

Then for sure. Walking out of EFP during day and then have the sun set and realizing... I can't see jack! Accidentally dropping a lightstone in EC and looking for it on the ground inch by inch all the while dodging griffons....

Now... it is fun but not original EQ fun.

Back then because of PvP, now because I actually value how great this game actually is after playing others.

Back then wins because of PvP.

So, maybe Everquest is better now, if only for the fact that the other games have helped me to see what it is that I appreciate about this game.

If I were the type of forum trollop that takes others' quotes for my signature... I would use this.

So very true.

After reading many comments... maybe I'd say both times are equally good for different reasons. Live was full of learning and moments of awe. p99 is full of thankfulness engendered by having the "correct" EverQuest brought back to life.

I can't tell you how giddy I was to get back my ghoulbane last week. I woke my wife up to tell her and you would have thought I'd told her I landed a promotion from her reaction.

Even though it won't proc until L20... a GB at L14 is some sweet dps for a mono-wielder. Ooooh how great it feels! Yay p99!

Going from the skiff to the boat in Erudin - make sure you make a running jump up onto the deck of the boat. If you go straight at the boat from the skiff you will fall through the geometry and end up in the water. Not a big deal to swim back to the docks but there are generally 2 level 15-18 sharks waiting for you and another 30 minute wait...

Recently (in the last year or three?) a developer confirmed / posted on one of the threads in the sony boards about South Ro AC Spawn table, and essentially how to make it spawn. I wonder if that would work here in P99 heh - and I wish I actually remember it too!
