pirates with a difference

[chagadiel]

Hi all

I am sure this has been suggested in some way or another and have seen on the forums people saying pirates shouldn't be a nation and i agree.
So i was thinking as i do that pirates should be something very different a sub game as it were. So stick with me. I am dyslexic.

The PVE server
The pirate nation is scrapped
You have your main character as normal but you can have a second character a pirate character who is very different
The pirate character is mortal. he has no levels but reputation to pull in crew. If his ship is sunk he dies. If his ship is captured he is hanged or he can retire after which of any three there is a cooling off period of X amount time before starting again. The goal to be in the top 100 living pirates or the top 100 retired pirates and the top 100 all time pirates.

Pirates operate alone. They can not build ships or own lands and trade. They can attack all nations and nations can attack them

At a some point a  successful pirate can get to design his own  flag using a variety of symbols sizes and placements ect. Now he is known and other players can get a reward for his demise and cudos of their own name on the top 100 as the killer or capturer of said pirate.

treasure is divided by the number of the crew with the captain getting a suitable share and can retire at any point and have to wait for the cooling off point to start another pirate.

Anyways i just wanted to share my idea
