Boat fixes

Intricus · #1 04-12-2010, 11:43 AM

I know that its been said that the boats will probably never be able to be active in project 99, and that they aren't compatible with the SoF or Titanium clients, but I would sure hope for the sake of true classic EQ nostalgia when the server comes back up, the boats will be in full service again.

well its fine that the dude wants boats (this post is gonna be assuming he is serious)

but shit, his post..i dont know its hard for me to really believe he is serious. how you gonna say "i know this shit doesnt work, and has huge compatibility issues with the server....but i dont care so make it work" and be serious lol :/

i dunno, props to this dude for confusing the hell out of me [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Well...I really coulden't tell if all the posts asking for items like the manastone and guise of the deciever to be put back into the game due to the DDOS attacks were 'serious' or not...I coulden't tell if posts asking for the server to be reset were 'serious', wasn't too sure if posts suggesting a grand get-together, filled with drunken cross-zone races, and drunken kelethin runs to 'celebrate' the server, were 'serious' or not.....but I can in fact confirm that as someone who has fond memories of boat rides in classic EQ, I am in fact being 100% 'serious'.

Don't get me wrong, it doesen't surprise me one bit that as someone with a name that is not easilly recognized, OR someone who is a guild leader, OR someone who is in a high-end guild, who constantly fills the forums with irrelevant posts, makes a suggestion that is not taken seriously by some, if not many. I fully expected it.

i didnt know if you were being serious because in the same post you say you understand why its not do-able yet you still ask for it to be done.

do some research, realize they are putting a high priority on shit they CAN fix and work on and have mentioned that if any1 wants to attempt learning perl they can (there is a post with the information required somewhere if you simply search) and that otherwise they arent going to worry about it.

i enjoyed the boats as well, whenever they were working. but they werent always working, they had many glitches with it, and if sony, a company who employs a shit ton more than 4 people, cant have 100% working boats in the 3 years of classic/kunark/velious then i wouldnt expect P99 to have 100% working boats.

and sorry...i seem to have misplaced my underlaying tone of sarcastic remarks. but dont worry!! i still managed to get my point across without coming off as an asshole

Anyone else remember running for the boat and seeing it at port, and seeing it pull away just as you time the most epic of epic jumps (especially if you were a dwarf!) and .... missing completely? landing in the water with your level 5 swimming skill and taking 8 minutes to crawl back onto the land?

Good memories... good memories... I'd be happy for the boats, but i understand they are a pain in the ass... also my computer in 99 loved to crash whilst zoning, and i'd crash and end up fucked by being on the boat... died in eruds crossing this one time... not cool looking for a body at the bottom of the sea with no EB or swimming skill...
