Maybe I'm one of the weird ones... I hated the boat and ship travel back then... I wasn't around for the period it seems like you're mentioning in your original post.. but... When I started playing.. boat/ship was still the method of travel. I dunno...yeah I love talking... sometimes I log in just to chat... but if I have a real...goal or intention for the day... it seemed like it just ruined the flow of the game. I'd accomplish something... have to jump on a ship..wait 5-15 minutes... then basically pick up where I had left off again. I guess I want to say ... continuity>? Maybe?? LOL ..sure, lets go with that...
I didn't play a lot back then, because it was so time consuming to travel.. and it felt like there was too much idle time..
Idle time that I could be doing things.. since I was still in school then.
