Thursaday Thoughts: Bring Back Boat Crews
Oh sure it may seem like a minor issue, but I always had a spot for the crews that were put in place on the boats from Menethil Harbor, Booty Bay, etc. Maybe I’m just a sucker for fluff, I love a good story and I think it’s a lot more engaging to hop on the boat to see vendors and crew to interact with. As it stands now the boats are ran by ghosts, mystically floating from one destination to the next.
Apparently I’m not the only one that thinks this, either. Blizzard CMs were kind enough to answer the not-so-important question of whether they intend to fix the boats and bring back the crew:
“We would like to return them to their posts when and if we can. Due to safety precautions on the vessels, they were removed, but hopefully the engineers will get the kinks worked out so that they can return and continue their jobs in relative safety.”
Apparently the crew were causing some serious problems, like server instability and crashes. I suppose this sort of thing falls pretty low on the priority list, too. Maybe the expansion will have boat crews that don’t blow servers up…and then they’ll add them to the old boats?
Wishful thinking…
