i know they took them out for a short time to fix a problem or something ( im not sure i dident get the memo) but i thought they had put them back in one of the last patches.. but i took a boat the other day and it was just like it was before, no rocking and no crew.. can anyone shed some light on this for me? much thanks in advance

We had planned to get them back in recently, however, there were some issues of boats and zeppelins not functioning properly, so they were removed. While we'd still love to be able to get them back on duty, there is no definite eta on when or if this will happen.

The way they talk on those Zeppelins youd think the ocassional explosion or crash landing would be part of the normal routine.


Apparently, they were upset about a lack of hazard pay. I say they knew what they signed on for!

I think what really happened was RP outcry that got them nerfed


This is not the case. ;) We just want to make sure the boats and zeppelins function properly and consistently. We do want to get the crews back on, but not if it means we run into the same issue again. We'll do what we can though.
