They don't want us to do external speed charts?

Ohai, @Felix Victor! I'll look at it at first opportunity (at my leasure). Have they messed with the "the secret number"? Will we have to wake up @balticsailor? I've been off this for a terribly long time...

They deleted my old "Ship speeds discussion" thread? -.-

Site updated. Hi, all old friends!

Interesting, could you elaborate how the changes enables you to do that...

Ye, we know. We wanted it to be the right game, we fought hard to make it right, we lost. NA is still one of the best games ever in my view, even if the diamond is buried under a pile of nonsense I find myself unable to negotiate. I still have hope...

T_T

Aww, this makes me sad because you did more work than I did. Why would so many asshats congregate in this game?! I truly wonder...

You're not wrong but I take a different stance than you, still. I'm an extreme pvp'er but I've never flamed anyone, anywhere. Though, I know that some of my ilk do. I used to police global chat so I know what the ususal suspects are capable of. Even if it was "my job" to react I still loved staying in global chat. As @admin points out; You need more than a dozen of volunteers to muzzle the idiots and opportunists. We did our job when we were around (I think some are still around) but we weren't around all the time and in every nation chat when the usual suspects moved their shit away from our disapproving gaze. Discord and other micro-communities don't matter in this regard, they have, would have and will exist whatever is available in-game. The problem isn't the shit-spewing, the problem is that the shit-spewing is placed at the devs' feet. I understand thoroughly how they don't want to deal with it as an official entity. You could try an official/unofficial backchannel opt-in global chat to preserve the community feeling or simply throw out all the good stuff with the bad stuff. The beauty is that if this partly hidden global chat backfires on steam forum, reddit or wherever else these snowflakes, vindictive chat victims or true white-knights of a clean game-environment lurk, admin can simply kill it. Poof! We tried. The assholes won. This is not my fight, for sure, but it always irks me when assholes manages to set the agenda. (This could be a perfect segue into a certain nation's politics, but I know better )

Sure, but would you run home to mommy (bother the devs with reports) if there was a disclaimer "This is the tavern in all it's glory and ugliness, dolts will say the most despicable things and the constabulary is not around".

True. What about an opt-in chat that no player has activated by default? If people use an opt-in chat to rage-type, would it matter? This game hinges much, much more on a community feeling than WG games. I've seen an undocumented opt-in chat work in a game with similar crowd numbers we have. They had a "tune to radio frequency 200" feature that needed more input than simply clicking "enable rage-chat". btw... WG kept PM's. Over the top angry PM's are my favourite thing, but I'm told by the guys here I'm weird, so...

None of these sandboxRPGMMO heroes ever do that. aSsYmMetriCAl wARfAre iS SO sUN TzU

Calm down with the straw-man! How can sandboxMMORPGmultiplayer anti-griefing measures be used in a single-player game with possible lobby rooms?

Eh, the joining of already established battles is small dick energy PvP.

Translated to jodgi-speak: "We want people to spend inordinate amounts of time to cash out fun instead of simply instantly cash out fun. Yea, I've been suspicious of the direct and indirect qualities of sandbox-RPG-MMO's for quite some time now. hello kitty me for wanting to enjoy the best things about this game instead of dealing with the worst things, right? Hi, @Puchu... Mmmwoaahh! I've also always loved @HachiRoku, but I love the current version of hachi the most.

I too assumed duel rooms wouldn't be a problem for OW attendance. It was taken away, though. Towards the end Rakers did duel rooms almost exclusively, did too many do the same?

I used plot.ly before infogr.am and they had that feature, but plot.ly started to crap out as the ship list grew.

You have your thing, why argue against us having our thing?

Yes! But that's not a feature infogr.am has, I've asked them about it, twice.

I know how to curb my enthusiasm. I know Sea Legends might not get working duel, skirmish or grand battle rooms. I'll support it even without the certainty. I'm fine with having the most insane crafting system ever devised in single player mode. I'm aware people get off on that. But... IF we get multiplayer stuff in Sea Legends; Single player insano crafting, gear or crew grinds can't matter in multiplayer. Please! If there has to be grinding in the multiplayer part it's ok, all but everyone can handle grinds these days. I desperately emplore you to keep bot- and singleplayer grinding separate from the (possible) multiplayer part. It would be ill-advised to not include a rather large segment of players, that I represent, that you currently don't have populating the OW server.

Heh, I like that chunky kid in front.
