Logged into this what to do now???

You know....after reflecting on this entire situation, my "new guy" perspective is exactly in line with Mindless. Even though I was the one involved in the situation, and even though I called a GM and received help I feel in retrospect the better alternative would have been the let the server police itself. There were several requests in irc to help me im sure any 1 of them would have helped me retrieve my boat and numerous offers of a free replacement. It wasnt about the boat at any time. It wasnt ever about the boat for me, it was about the lost time. I already feel after 8'ish' (?) days I havnt even had a chance to really "play" here yet because im still macroing chars/trying to scrounge up gold/etc.

All of that aside I agree with the following, and if the server police decide that they do not want that type of behavior here let the chips fall where they may for any parties involved. Maybe its sever repercussion or maybe its nothing at all but let the general population decide.

My 2 cents FWIW.......

*Paints some happy trees*

this really suits you

STOP IT!

You aren't allowed to make me laugh.

I would just like to point out that 1 player blocking another player's boat sure seems like a player vs player situation to me.

and numerous "adequate solutions" were provided in this thread.

Look closely at my avatar....if you havnt noticed it is NOT Bob Ross.....

and look what he's painting rofl

My bad.... drank too much (not enough?!) of whatever he's painting.

Alright so I click on this thread and I couldn't believe the picture I saw...... I trapped those boats.. Last night while making my rounds I was tracking around Dagger Island and I found Buckwheat off to the west off the shore.. I couldn't believe it.. I quickly laid my boat out onto the water, boarded my vessel, and raised the anchor.. I quickly followed my tracking arrow and within two screens I saw my victim.. Buckwheat.. As I loaded my first spell of death, the prey quickly vanished before my eyes.. along with my tracking arrow.. How could this be?? I have sailed the seas of Sosaria many nights looking for lonely fishermen and their treasures. Last night I was very excited and couldn't wait to unleash my lo err fury.

I got a question..

Did you log or recall cause I sat there for a good 30mins and then gave up?

Sorry if I discouraged your gameplay.. mine was also hurt in your sudden disappearance. I docked all four my vessels this morning.

I can't believe this thread has already gone 6 pages?? Anything interesting cause I only read 3 or 4 posts before deciding I should make a post.

You were maybe 10-20seconds away from being dead once you logged back in.. Lucky timeout.. sorry for blocking your boat.

What a scoundrel...

*thumbs up*

Lol well...it would appear someone is trying to make a point

Yes im giving him publicity as he wants but its still humorous nontheless.

This kind of shit is indefensible. We could fix this by somehow deeding the ship with our key?

Completely 100% disagree.

It was me! Read above post. My sincere apologies.. I was just hunting and my kill evaded me (timed out). I sat there for 30mins thinking he just recalled and would soon come back.. I left my boats there and deed them first thing this morning when I logged on (maybe it was too late).

Right on.

I logged. You must have caught me right as I timed out.

Were u the guy that chased my herder around ice for like 5-10 mins a short while prior to Buckwheat timing out?

Not sure I understand the story though. After finding a random to kill and they disappear you wait for 30 mins for them to return with 4 boats blocking?

I think I may be misunderstanding something....

Well I wasn't sure if you timed out or recalled.. Kind of a strange place to log out, but understandable. I blocked the boat which was a ten minute ordeal then I sat there.. Ya I was bored.. I may have been chasing your herder, can't quite recall. And yeah I sat there for 30mins on my boat 2nd screen while I was dueling on my other screen. Should have moved the boats since you didn't come back, but I was tired and decided to dock them this morning.
