It seems a large majority of the community has been dealing with real life over the past few months. I myself have been more active than I was a few months ago, even though I'm still a tad preoccupied, dealing with the Marine Corps. I just can't bring myself to leave this game. Thankfully I don't ship off to basic until August, so I'll be very active over the summer until then.
I'm working on rousing my guild from its wintry slumber, so even though I have been rather active recently... not many people have been online to see that. So I've mainly been spending my time looting or plundering on my own, or people watching at Abassa Tortuga.
