If you love PvP, it's a huge amount of content. But for people who aren't PvP'ers, we have more elder game content in the works, especially the Player Governored Ports.

OBJECTION!

Seriously, it's the worst part about the forum. It's sad that a thread about being nice has to go so badly.

I really do QQ in my chair when it's so nasty. I'd much rather see epic battles of y'all sinking each other...in a civil bloody war battle kind of way.

The most powerful sales tool we have are people who are happy with the game, because you'll keep talking about the game. People who leave complain for a little while, and then move on. Well, often they come back, and complain more, but that's the MMO biz. :-)

Just a quick note to let you know that we are indeed working to find out what's causing this. For now, we ask that you file as support ticket in the "I'm Stuck!" queue, and a GM will contact you for help.

I've got a meeting right now, but I'll come back with some updates as soon as I'm done.

Best,

To be clear, what I've said is that we're essentially balanced with a slight creep up.

Interesting idea -- but IMO this isn't one that absolutely needs a unique ship model to be implemented (that is, should we decide to try making some ship variants like this). What it requires is the ship be set up with the appropriate battery structure in the game itself. I'm actually not sure if that's possible or not, since I don't deal with the gun and effects handlers -- just the ship models themselves. I'll ask around.

I do have to point out though, that generally anything ship-related from O'Brian's Aubrey-Maturin books is going to be too modern for a game set in 1720. The specific idea of a ship with multiple batteries of differing weights on a single deck, however, dates back to the creation of naval artillery.

Also, I've been snooping around from time to time for more visual documentation on Ottoman vessels of the period -- an idea that rather fits here. My luck has been mixed and I'm always open to additional resources on this topic.

The nice thing about leaderboards is that they're completely optional whether you look at them or not.

You'll need to create a subscription with the game when you activate it. Just follow the directions in the Station Account page. If you have any questions, you can contact SOE's billing support team.

Good luck!

In concept means that one of us with administrative ability thought that it was a good idea and moved it out there so we wouldn't lose track of it. It still has to be discussed, spec'ed, implemented, and could be killed off at any one of those stages. Note "I'm just a Bill" from Schoolhouse Rock. :-)

Reporting works best; I'm not online 24/7 to read every post.

If you folks have suggestions, I'd recommend trying to the Community Suggestions section of our forums. I'd also recommend leaving the forum pvp out of any post you make there so the Dev Team can take it seriously.
