reintroduce battle rooms e.g. 20 vs 20 lobbys - get rid of open world, replace it with a porper user interface for ship construction, trading and stuff outside of battle instance
Open world was a good idea, but the a.i. roaming the open world does nothing (attack you, chase you, do anything that has impact on the gameplay) which makes the whole open world
seems to be a farce.The low player numbers dosent make it any better.
Returning to the original NAVAL ACTION system woud pull back in old players and attract new ones because of actual PVP NAVAL ACTION that you get nowhere else.
