I just checked the status of the boat teleporter from the Trinsic docks to the Magincia docks in Felucca on all shards except Siege. [No need for me to check Siege because I remember reading something somewhere about a certain person being stuck on the island with no way off until he stole a boat.
]
Here's the status of the boat teleporters:
Functional
Atlantic
Arirang
Asuka
Baja
Chesapeake (Magincia docks are in bad shape.)
Drachenfels
Europa
Hokuto
Izumo
Lake Superior
Mizuho
Mugen
Oceania
Origin
Pacific
Sakura
Sonoma
Wakoku
Yamato
No Boat Teleporter or Boat Teleporter Doesn't Work
Balhae (Boat teleporter is at the Trinsic docks, but using it bounces you to the top of the Trinsic docks.)
Catskills (Same situation as on Balhae.)
Formosa
Great Lakes
Lake Austin
Legends
Siege Perilous
Status Unknown
Napa [I could not figure out how to get my newb character into the dock area. Every entrance I could find was blocked and she couldn't shadow jump in from anyplace either. I didn't take the time to go through the Napa forum to see if there was any information there. Hopefully someone who plays on Napa will know whether the boat teleporter still works and if there's a reasonable way to get to it.]

Making an update to this previous post and have a few new comments and questions:
On Napa you can now get to the docks. There's still a wall blocking the sidewalk by the stable/inn (be sure to check out the funny sign on the blocking wall) and you still cannot walk into the inn from the stable; however the portcullis that was in the southern part of the wall below the fishing guild appears to be completely gone.
Draconi also added square tile teleporters near the Trinsic and Magincia docks in the last day or two. They are supposed to already be operational on the production shards. (I'm assuming this applies to ALL shards.) I believe the boat teleporters are gone now, but haven't had a chance yet to get on and confirm anything. If you've plunked guards, vendors and traps on the Trinsic or Mag docks, you might want to go see if they're still effectively placed.
I believe I also read somewhere something that implies you can now recall/sacred journey/gate into Magincia, but I'm not sure if I misunderstood and am also wondering if this will be true for all shards. Draconi did state the moongates are not restored yet.
Has anyone noticed any signs of animal life returning to Magincia yet? Or is it still a pretty safe bet that if you pull up a rat on tracking, it's not really a rat?
Is anyone else out there wondering about how factions might be affected in the near future as the current storyline develops? I am still pretty ignorant of a lot of the UO lore, so maybe I'm wondering for nothing, but some of the recent references to the Council of Mages and Shadowlords do have me wondering a bit about what's going to happen. Would be kind of cool if Draconi could give us a few hints!
