Hi Chuckle ... You are welcome to join CBC , get the game it is a awsome sailing , fighting ... easy to learn the ways of the sea (after a bit of learning the ways of the wind).
As for our views on pirates and smuggling etc . gonna wait and see when that part of the game comes out. Probably anything is good .
We have teamspeak3 (we have a few others playing others games also) , come on in and join us , tell a yarn , sail , sink stuff.
