And therein lies the problem. In my opinion, your request isn't really a reasonable one. There is no way in the world that Disney will keep servers open so pirates can have their own private little islands. Period.

There are no "guild servers" and to say that cutting costs is a bad business move doesn't take into consideration that business is bad right now. But like so many other online games, the option to lease a server isn't a bad one. That way a guild could really have their own little sandbox to play in.

Slouyx and Del are right. This really is non-issue. I just logged off. Out of 57 servers, 23 were ideal and none were full. That leaves 24 basically empty servers. 2 1/2 years ago, half the servers wouldn't be empty. Ever. Business is a little slow right now and keeping dead servers open and paying for the maintenance and electricity and upgrades makes less sense.

But look at it this way. Faster, more streamlined updates are a real possibility, aren't they? Not to mention the loading times...
