There are quite alot of people on Pirates that are a little rude...

To find the nice ones, just chat a little and try to do stuff that helps out with one another. For example, I sail for someone that asks me nicely and I usually get to know them well

. When you go into places where pirates are leveling, try helping one out by healing them untill their enemy is dead. Most of my friends I found them like that, almost by accident lol. There are many people on here too, that are very kind and willing to help! Good luck mate!
