In beta 1, you were able to dig for treasure. I don't know why it was changed. Apparently we were all just running around digging for treasure to get gold all too often.
I'm not sure I like the idea of having to manually dig, or manually get out of jail. There's too much clicking as it is.
The tailor and barber idea is awesome. There's already a seamstress, maybe they can use her.
I really don't have a reason to zoom in on my character, but I do like using the mouse wheel to quickly change weapons when fighting.
I think the devs need to rework the war frigate. When you're at the upper deck guns, the sails are in the way, and you can't see what you're shooting at.
