Not long before I left to work, there was a patched launched that made items invisible to players unless boats were moving or you were on the boat. In my opinion this patch kind of killed the pirate feel for me. If players didn't set their items in the right spots they could be lifted but now you just cant see them.
Although this patch was accurate to the later part of T2A era, this patch was launched to reduce lag because everyone was on dialup at that time. Since it is now 2010, I cant see it being an issue. There was not a lag issue before the patch with boats.
I can understand houses with this property simply because the size of housing and the amount of items you can store but boats are too small to cause this problem and it might add a little more fun at sea.
This patch made boats way too secure. You cant lift what you cant see. I would like to see my loot before I peruse it lol.
Would like to revisit items on boats....

Re: Would like to revisit items on boats....
And your comments bring me back to a comment I made before........ since everyone was on dialup back then...... Derrick should implement some bandwidth shaping software on the server so everyone has a 5kbps connection to the server at the most.. and bring back era accurate connection and lag.
However, I'm sure the patch note for the boats does not say it's intended effect is for lag, so you are speculating.

NEA.
If boat items return to the way they were, then it would be unfair to the many other "accurate" changes that some players may not particularly care for.

Re: Would like to revisit items on boats....
I am just saying it was in play for a long time on this server and when it was changed it took alot out of game play out at sea. players used to venture out to sea more looking for ships to loot. There was never an issue with it. The only boat issue at the time was the ram bug to get on locked ships but that issue was fixed.
The more people out at sea looking for fortune, the less afk fishers, miners, and other undesirables lol
