Translocators! Your opinion.

[Danior]

Having played for a few days now I'd love to just see a shout, instant travel between continents would be nice, but I think the separation between landmasses really adds something (and is expected given the servers ruleset)

You have to consider your choices and can't bail easily on one group for another. I've hear a number of people say how nice it is that you don't mind the 30 minute travel time when groups are generally together for multiple hours in the same area.

This is definitely the closest to my original EQ experience I've had and I agree with some that something would be missing if not for the intentional Time To Travel.

I see both sides of the argument, and each are valid depending on what you take away from your experience. But personally a zone wide shout would be a better compromise so you can make the best use of your time.

Find a way to fix the boats.

the wait at sister island is brutal and not classic.... keep the wait times for bb/fp by all means but please increase the frequency of the OOT TL.

I agree... time is valuable. I see no down side to having the translocators up 24/7. This is a good move for the community.

Cheers!

Umm... yes. Time is valuable. That is why you *don't* have them up 24/7. It makes time even that much more valuable! Let's keep the challenge in classic Everquest.

No World of Warcraft....please.

holy hell, how about we don't bump polls from 7 months ago.

Just at a quick glance, this line has some issues:

if (($sirens ==39) &&($sirens >=39) && ($sirens <=59)){ ##Oot

The only condition that would match this would be when sirens is equal to 39. I'm thinking what it should be, if I understand the code properly, is this:

if (($sirens >=39) && ($sirens <=59)){ ##Oot

Meaning when the variable is between 39 and 59, inclusive.

Otherwise you're saying when sirens is 39 AND when sirens is greater than or equal to 39 AND when sirens is less than or equal to 59. Like I said, only a value of 39 would return true.

the way it is will have to suffice for me, atleast until they're able to correct the boat issues, having the translocator always up and available to port is EZ mode imho- and just retarded and lame and wow-like.

Definitely do not keep TLs up full time - not classic. Fix the boats if possible. Otherwise, leave it as it is.

You are 100% correct. This server is trying to recreate classic everquest as much as possible. What you just said makes the most sense.
