...and all servers are now back online!

As previously announced, the servers are currently down so that we can deploy a fix for the server selection issue, as well as a couple of other problems that surfaced yesterday. All server should be back online shortly.

This isn't a design change. It's a bug, and we're making a new build to fix it.

Not exactly. Someone can quit, but their account could continue to be active for the paid time. If someone paid for 3 months and quit after one month, they're still technically able to log in and play/post for the remaining time on their account. After their subscription has run out, then they're cut off from the game and the forums.

No. This is a bug and we're working on a new build now to fix it.

Due to the reported complications related the character transfer process, and in an effort to mitigate the potential for any additional problems, we are temporarily suspending this service.

We anticipate re-enabling the character transfer service in the very near future, and we will keep you updated as soon we know more.

Your patience is truly appreciated.

Friends, I know this is a frustrating situation, I would be more than a bit unhappy if I were in your shoes. However, when I shared with you that we are working on the issues, I meant it.

No one is losing their character data, and everyone will be able to transfer their character just as soon as we remedy the problem that caused this glitch.

Those of you that have submitted tickets should have recieved an update on the situation, if you did not, then I need you to let me know personally.

I apologize for the inconvenience this has caused, and I will keep you updated as we know more.

Best,
Aether

We're currently not looking for any new ships of the line. Which is to say, only projects with 50 or fewer guns will be considered for addition at this time.

Besides, the "classic" 74 truly belongs to the generation after the game's setting. Far more appropriate would be a classic 70 -- which often included a handful of light (4-pounder) guns on the poopdeck which might bring the total to 72 or 74.

Please file support tickets. Thanks!
