Change of course

Not sure where to post this....

I have found no other MMO game that recreates this time period of wooden ships and iron men. At least not one with the richness of graphics and depth of character that POTBS renders. If I had found an alternative, then I would be writing in it's forums at this moment.

This game has been fun to play from the first moment that I set sail. I fear, however that it now stands on the precipes of retirement. Player participation has lagged to the point that a merger of the two remaining servers is almost mandatory.

No one will return to this game because they can fish for eels or govern a money pit of a port. No new sailors will crowd your dock to do prolonged leveling missions or mindlessly fleet the night away. They want to ply the trade winds and feel the salt air in their pixel beards. They want to captain mighty 120 gun ships of the line and swift but deadly frigates. They want to send the enemy shipping to Davy Jones locker or escape certain death. You, the FLS staff need only look through the suggestion forums to find truly brilliant ideas that might save this game.

You, the FLS family are in the unique position of having nothing to lose. Without a significant change in course this game will continue to flounder. I will be so bold as to suggest that you approach the remaining players with what you are willing to change and ask for their input. You have a wonderfully unique product and it would be a shame to see it lost.
