@admin what needs testing (after your UI update) is the Pirates as just another faction needs addressing better people than me have made really good suggestions for this, personally I would like them taken out of RvR and ships of the line (all of them) but give them a raid mechanic unavailable to the Nations this would provide content.

 

 

I like what you're telling here
Do you have a link to your suggestions?

Let's be realistic, 150 players online = 90% empty oceans. Game is dead right now with some Vets still doing Econ, Fleets and some PvP. This reply would mean more sense 1 year ago when population was still at around 1k, but not now. This is how many players potbs has right now (01/22/2008-9/30/2017). 

Well we had 500 player online during peak hours in the last few weeks, that's far more than we had 2 months ago. But if you do PvP outside a Captial... Well there is always enough to be killed. And you can't spawn reinforcements in an outlaw battle.
And if all the Pirate PVE and Carebears leave the "Pirate Nation" there are enough to populate a new small nation!


BTT:
I think it would be a nice idea to bring in a Trading/PVE Nation that can't interact with other Nations. The can only trade with the shop and their own Nation(to reduce abusing with alts), but can enter any port with any ship. This would also allow it to reunite the servers again! As 100% PVE Players would than have the option to be safe on the PVP server.

This game needs everyone hardcore-,  causal- and hardcore causal-  players, rvr, pvp and pve because its a niche game. If this new nations get implemented right they could attract the hardcore players again. Changing existing nations to capturable Capitals one is wrong. Look at pirates most pirates dont welcome drastically changes that would make them real pirates and not just a nation with a black flag.

But you are right the game really needs intresting pve content as well like it needs pvp content beside clan/rvr.

Well, there is quite a force building up in the Pirate Nation that tries to make the change themselves by fighting all the Carebear and PVE Clans, as they try to make the "Pirates" either become real PvP Pirates or quit to another Nation.
