Very good idea.

[Indizle]

Sort of like a prepaid option? I have to admit thats a pretty nice idea. It wouldnt help people fish more lobbies and screw up the market as people ususally do that in Catherby and the Fishing guild anyways, and those that have to go to karajama would still have a lengthy dialouge. It would just make the trip more convienent.

[stevepole]

do you get a card called the prepaid pass or like the sailor keeps track?

[Necromancer_Magic]

hmmm, not sure

 

 

 

please tell me what you think

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sailor keeps track

 

 

 

or

 

 

 

Have a Pass

[harper128]

I agree that it would be nice, make it only allowable after you finish Pirate's Treasure, perhaps?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In the two situations, you could either:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1.) make it a pass, which is an item in your inventory. The pass could also allow you to bypass the security check, but any rum you tried to smuggle would break on a rough ship ride? But, questions on this might be, would it be droppable/tradeable? And, if you were killed somehow, what value would it have? Would it have a set value to determine if you keep it, or would it have a variable value depending on how many trips you had left?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2.) If the sailor keeps track, how? This may free up an inventory space, but what happens when you switch worlds, log off and back on, or the server reboots?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You might also consider a "day pass" which could sell for...1000 coins?(that's 33 trips, plus the paper work fee) It could allow for unlimited passage for one day (either a clock day, or until you log out). And, if you go with this type of pass, it could also bypass the customs officer, but again, see above about rum. Most people won't mind paying for the convience, and it becomes a small money sink, as most players won't make the trip 33 times before logging at least once.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Not trying to shoot down the idea, just flesh it out a bit more.

I would like something like this also for the shanity pass but no pass. You pay something like 50k for a liketime pass to karmajar and 20k for shanity.

[aoe325]

I totally support but it must not be tradable

[dorker42]

I don't think it's any good...It's just that it's already cheap and easy, doesn't need to be easier.

[willyx]

ummm.... ring of charos gives u free boat rides

[harper128]

Willyx, only if you're a member and only if you've done the proper quest, correct?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dorker42, if you'll notice, I really don't think anyone would mind paying a bit more if it could be made easier. i.e. Your total ends up being 40 per trip, but you only have to worry about carrying the pass (or not). Plus, is is easy, but annoying to go through the custom official every time. Heck, I, for one, wouldn't mind paying 1 or 2k for a day pass which was good for 12-24 hours.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

At 1k, that's 33.333 trips one way, 16.5 round trips, at 2k, that's 66.6 one way trips, or 33 round trips. If you're fishing(which I do), that would be anywhere from 400 fish to 462 fish before you broke even on the trip cost. Many people don't fish that long at one time. But, because some do, you might consider the 2k cost. That would be 825-924 fish before the trip cost broke even. Maybe even make the cost a bit higher. What do you think?
