I remember in the Release Notes on test a while back saying something about the EITC and Navy fleets sailing, yet havent seen the navy at all, not even on test.
Here are the Test Release Notes from Feb 17, 2010:
Release Notes - February 17, 2010
- New Casa de Muertos Quest on Padres del Fuego
- Expedition Fleets Set Sail - Search for and sink elusive EITC and Navy Ship of the Line fleets
- Added the ability to ignore all Guild Invites
- Pirates will no longer become Groggy after being revived. They only become Groggy when they are sent to jail
- Reduced the amount of damage cannonballs deal to player masts and sails
- The sun and stars now have the correct orientation across islands
Took them long enough to get the Navy Expedition going.
