Try the eu server and the 7 islands, ie, a7 b7 etc, d7 was always good and so was h7 as I remember.

Poo happens, especially in mmo's, It's not pleasant at all, but it is part of gaming. What you are attempting to do here is no better than what you say was done to you. You need to just move on and forget about it, you'll find other gaming colleagues easy enough. Just give it time.

I've always thought that someone in the dev driving seat is either an ardent table top gamer or a massive fan of Risk, tbh.

A challenge only pvp would be ok. So many other games do that now.

Taking a dip! Have you been talking to my nurse? On a serious note most of us have been playing since video games went public, like ping pong in the early 70's. Weird thing is I don't play retro games even for nostalgia, but my son loves em.

Hey pple, steady about the oldies not playing vid games, loads of us do. My friend died last year and he played till he was 80. And I once met a lady on WOW who was 86! and I don't mean her character level.

I've played a few unofficial, the pros are multipliers for xp and gathering usually, sometimes they use mods too. But the cons for me far outweighed the pros. The first few no one would communicate with me at all, even when they were standing in view, no idea why. Then when I found a good server that I liked, after 3 months they went offline and I lost everything. That happened to me twice so I went back to official. Hope u find a good one.

Tbh, most people don't seem to use the mics anyway, especially on xbox. Have u been on the eu pve server and given a text call out on the chat for a company to join?

Try the lawless 7 islands. ie d 7, l 7 etc. I used to find them pretty uncrowded and good for basic survival too.

It wouldn't be so bad if we were told by the devs exactly how the ship decay works instead of guessing or learning by trial and error. It would have saved me a couple of nice ships in the past.

Yeh i've asked for this in a previous post, cos I can design my own on pc, but there is nothing for xbox players.

I'm not bothered either way on factions but it would be more realistic for pyrates to be robbing someone other than more pyrates. I mean you could have for instance, Pyrate, then trade ie east indiaman company, and royal navy, each with different ships and buffs. And a personal use peace flag would be good too, for parley situations.

Yeh I agree about the ship paint, it's just too scrappy, like an old garden shed look.

Personally i'm still holding out for airships.

If they do end up with factions then the maximum should be 3. That's what most games do, Some do two, but not many go over 3.
