Getting around...

Ok, before anyone blows a nut that someone is posting about boat problems please read the whole post first.

The boats running from Erudin and SNP are irregular. They may function 2/3 of the time or better but not often enough to be truely dependable. When the boats are down many lowbies are locked from good hunting grounds or may be stuck in erudin and unable to escape. I know the obvious answers to this...
1) Get a port. Not that many porters around, much less catching one who is not busy. And lowbies can't afford a donation to get a porter motivated often.
2) Use a port neck. Lowbies often have not had the time/ability to earn a port item yet. Even if they did there is no port item for Erudin. The only answer there has been for this is that they do not want people to skip content. Getting a way to get there will INCREASE use of content, not bypass it!

Solutions...
1) Portal in Mistwoods or Valley of Erimal. The same rational that justifies the portals in sundered, cauldron, EF, Whisperling and more works for putting a portal on the Erudin Isle somewhere.
2) Port item to Erudin. Same reasons why there is one for Grobb, NP, Rivervale, Athica work for reasons why Erudin and even Steamfont deserve a port item.


Do not get me wrong, I LOVE SoD! But I think that there is a small inconsistency here that deserves some attention. I am not asking for insanely easy access anywhere, just equal access for more areas.

Thanks for taking the time to read this and your constructive responses.
 
Next patch will include self-reboot code for the boat system that will kick in and fix it every 10 minutes if something is broken.
