Just butting in here...

My personal thanks for keeping this a good healthy thread. It really does make you want to sit down and read it; to see everyone's POV.

Now..back to the excellent discussion. Cheers!

doesn't make sense to me but then I guess I'm not a database expert ...

Just checking ...
Unfortunatey, we do not have the mechanism to transfer a player's User Content Submissions, requiring that they re-submit them under their new Big Pond account. I know this isn't ideal, but if you provide a link with your re-submitted items to the previously approved submission, we will fast track those submissions for approval.

Best,

Moved from the Shipwright Discussion forum, which is about making 3D models to add to the game.

What's far more intriguing is the question of her character's name.
Nope, I'm not playing under any name or colours known previously in closed or open beta.

1 in thread Flag Dissapointment [Flags and Sails]
Change of flag placement and the ability to fly flags outside of one's faction affiliation are pretty common requests/suggestions. We don't have immediate plans for either, but speaking personally I'd prefer to see the "personal flag" at the main mast rather than the stern. But you can take my word that the concern has been heard.

Unfortunately that can't happen, as much as any of us would like it to. The reason is that figureheads are an integral part of the ship models and thus cannot be swapped in or out. Each ship has a different, unique bow configuration -- many having no place at all for a figurehead -- and it's just not possible to make a variant for each possible instance of a figurehead. I think the game industry as a whole is years away from being able to accommodate dynamically adapted geometry, as would be required.

Correct in all ways, including the cannonballs.

Probably something has been overlooked somewhere and obviously needs to be corrected ASAP so we can get those KIWI's into the game .... and sink 'em.

My favourite methos is underarm cannonballs to their hulls.

1 in thread Announcing the Australian Ambassador Program! [News and Press Releases]
To address a couple of questions:

1) Hellmasterrd, we're taking varying levels of players, so fill out an application and use the comment section to explain why you think you'd make a good ambassador.

2) NZ players will be in. I know there was some small delta of time (I heard around a day) as they were configuring something to let them in. But yes, NZ players will be part of this.

3) I believe you'll be taking your UC with you. This is one of the reasons we did the work to allow BigPond players to stay on our forums.

4) We haven't established a hard number of people that we'll be taking. If an entire society approached us at the same time, we'd try and find a way to make an exception if that was pushing us too high.
