The crews were removed because of lag issues. Doesn't look like they're coming back.

Once you go troll, you never re-roll.

I do hope that the crews are returned to their proper station. They were a valuable addition to the ambiance of a trip from one place to another.

They should make the crew of the ships be ghosts, given how often they've been killed in the past.

I liked the boat crews, too... and was dismayed last night when I got on a boat for the first time in a long time and noticed that they were gone.

It was like a little part of the world suddenly died.

There didnt 'need' to be vendors on the boats in the first place, just people to talk to. It gets lonely at sea. =(

Q u o t e:
So its 2.4.2...

Where are our boat crews you promised you would bring back?
And the zep crews you promised in 2.4 again?

Im seeing none....


There were issues with the boat and zeppelin crews that were adversely affecting their functionality. While we'd like to add them back in at some point in time, it won't happen until we feel that issue will no longer affect their functionality. We'd like to see the crews back at their stations though in the future if we can.

Q u o t e:
My personal guess is they got in trouble by making some of the crew vendors. I'm guessing people found some sort of item or gold duping exploit based around the transition zone from Eastern kingdom to Kalimdor and rather than try and fix the exploit they just removed the crews.

I'm hoping they come back though. Automated ships and zeppelins really take some immersiveness away from the game for me.


It's exactly that. Some people found a way to dupe items using those zone crossing vendors. The easy fix was to remove the vendors. The real fix could be a very complex problem and i personally prefer that they trow their resources at new content instead of fixing this the right way.

Note: New content doesn't include anything related to arenas.

Could you put the vending machines in the zepellin towers? It might make more sense for them to be there anyway rather than trying to buy things before the zepellin hits the zoning point.

Since the issue was probably gold-related (from what I gather gold duping relies on gold transactions during server switches), why not bring back the non-vendor NPCs?

Your nefarious fingerprints were all over this case, Bloodsail! Now, on behalf of the Steamwheedle Cartel (and the sizeable bounty they offer), have at thee!
