Okay Bart, you are very inspiring! I agree about the long hair thing. On the subject of clothes, ya got me started, so here goes...

1 Yes, we do need different clothes

2 Would it really kill D to make the swatch color match the color of the item? Half the time you click blue and get teal, click brown and get... PURPLE?!

3 Why, for the love of pete, do we only get to pick one page of outfits? Oh, wait, we don't. We can't toss our starter outfits. What self respecting pirate would have had only 3 outfit choices they got to pick themselves. Come on! We should get at least 10 choices of our own, say 3 pages. And a 4th page dedicated to quest items only.

4 We girls need to be able to take off our shirts. You guys are going what?! Wait, hold the phone here, that would rock! Wrong!! I mean take off a shirt and wear only a vest. Yes, some of the vests for girls are way too open in front. Those should indeed still require shirts. But the closed vests you choose from in create a pirate, ones like that, where it's a tank top, yes we should get to wear those shirtless. There is nothing at all wrong with girls in tank tops!

5 Why can we not buy necklaces and bracelets? We are pirates! Wear the wealth! Real pirates would have shown off their worth, why can't we?

6 Is there any reason the jewelry quest jewelry has to be so ever lovin ugly?! If we go through all that mess we should get something wearable!

7 We do need new jewelry to pick from.

8 As with clothes, we need more pages for jewelry if we get more jewelry.

9 Tattoos! We need more pages for those, and also a dedicated quest tattoo page.

10 Mobile tattoos. Each pirate should be able to pick the tattoo they want to wear, and then drag and drop it to where they want it on their pirate. Say what? Ya, ink wherever you want it, within reason. Back Tattoos on guys. Upper arm ink on girls, lower arm ink on guys. Ankle tattoos on those of us who go barefoot. In said same vane, no limit to the number of tattoos one pirate can have. If you want to plaster your pirate, why not? (For this to work tattoos should also be sizable and not just drag and drop. There would have to be a button to fine tune make the tattoo larger or smaller.)

11 We need better tattoos, or at least more. And come on D would it kill ya to fix Lala's invisible tattoo? The chest one that does not show up on girls? If we get the thing we should get to see it on.


And now, on ships.

I could care less about ship customization or all that. I sail to sink and that's it. However, as some have suggested, we need Captains Cabins. Not on the light class ships, there isn't room. (but let's face it those are so ridiculously off sized to real world ships to pirate size it's not funny.) In the mid weight and war ships, there is most decidedly room for a captain's cabin. The sloops even have a door! Or the regular one does. Haven't been on a war sloop to know. But that space between the stairs on the galleons and frigates would make a perfect Captains Cabins on those ships. In the Hollow they have a home. Why can't pirates?

If they gave us captains cabins, we could have a dresser. One central location to change our clothes, jewerly, and tattoos. How much easier than running all over creation!


Skills

We need one more weapon. Fists. Pirates would have been skilled at hand to hand combat. Why can't we use it?


Emotes

I want three new emotes, maybe 4.

Sit. Where as you can sit in a chair, on a wall, on a crate, and dangle your legs. Pirates would not have stood everywhere every second of the day. They woulda sat too.

Cross your arms. This would be a running emote, like flip a coin or dance a jig. Just something to do while you stand around with your mates, or are on deck of your ship.

Handshake. You would have to go up and press shift for that one, as it would be an interaction. But, I mean a piratey handshake. Where as they shake hands with their wrists touching as a sign of trust. If you're holding on to the other person's wrist, you can't draw swords on them. Or that's the way I understand that handshake went. This could also be used as a congratulations for whatever reason.

I'll leave to D to figure out what, but there needs to be a guy only emote. Girls can primp but guys don't have one that is just guys. They should get one too.

One last thing. You should get to choose if your pirates are right or left handed. People can be one or the other or both, why not pirates?


That's enough from me, and quite more than enough I should think. Bit of food for thought that.
