Posted September 23, 2011 Dependant on boat type Rowboats, sailboats and the like would be ~3-4 weeks Corbs-Knarrs would be a month, and caravels would have the full 2 months. Since if a person hasn't looked at the forums for 2 months, they either don't care about their small boat, or quit, in which case it'd be nicer to be able to take those smaller ones.

Posted September 23, 2011 +1, and if the original owner comes back within 2 months(6 for a caravel?) then they get the boat back, free of charge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 23, 2011 You can already build a boat in far less time than the minimum wait time your asking for in this proposal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 23, 2011 Boat salvaging is not intended as a means of making some cash, or getting a boat for little-to-no effort. It's supposed to allow people to trace stolen or 'drifted' vessels and help clear up stray boats that clutter up the server. So -1. I'd be more in favour of extending salvage time by a month, sticking it in the new gm-pool-dock thingy, and then destroying the unclaimed boat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 26, 2011 or new idea, if a player believes in what gods there is in WURM(i only know what there is one called FO and valnora or something) the gods will make the boat lower a anchor and stay in place until the owner logs back in, or finds there boat, instead of drifting.
