If your boat or zeppelin isn't coming in WoW Forever, look for a portal near the dock or inside the zeppelin tower. Blizzard confirmed the bug on 5 November. Aggrend said transports could get lost for long stretches and that the portals are a temporary way to cross between continents.

What Blizzard said

  • Confirmed: boats and zeppelins can go missing for extended periods.
  • Confirmed: portals were placed near most transport docks and inside zeppelin towers.
  • Confirmed: a proper fix was planned for the morning of 5 November, and the portals will be removed once it's verified.

We haven't confirmed that the fix is in yet, so the portals may already be gone when you read this.

What to do

  1. Look around the dock or tower for the portal. Blizzard says "most" docks, so a quiet route may not have one.
  2. If there's no portal and no transport after a few minutes, try a route from another city.
  3. Don't wait on the platform for long. One player reported standing in a tower for over 10 minutes.

Add-ons and route planners

While this is going on, a route that relies on a boat or zeppelin may take longer than it looks. Our add-on site has map and route add-ons if you want a backup.
