the White Boat Project

[Neruz]

why? Because there is nowhere to go for new players, swimming is not an option

... and yet it only costs 500 LP. Adding another zero or two to the end of that might convey a more realistic situation and save some nubs from needless deaths.

A better idea would be to not make swimming so ludicrously dangerous. I mean the rivers are like what, 5, 6 meters across? Tops? And they're not flowing very fast at all, nowhere near enough mountains to get decent water speed going, we're talking sluggish streams at best, i'd be surprised if they were more than 3 or 4 feet deep.

Yet grown men drown in these things almost instantly. What in the hell?

It's a tribute to Oregon Trail

FORD THE RIVER!

Wouldn't a cable ferry or a bridge do the trick? My friend had serious issues with the maze and almost quit the game for good.

Bridges are not that easy to implement and I guess boats do pretty much the same a ferry would do.

Boats can be sailed away, ferries would presumably be stuck where they're built. And if you give them high enough damblock and low enough cost, griefers won't bother with them.
