Homes and houses ...

I think the captain quarters has some great possibilities. You sneak off into the captain quarters, where Skelly ships appear, you go to jail.

One of the bigger reasons, is going basic. Usually most housing systems have a upkeep price. It isn't maintained, then it goes to the open market. I don't like this concept much, and with some going back and forth basic and unlimited, you buy it it should remain yours.

This all can be implemented on the customized ship project, that I hope is already being worked on. This seems more in theme to me as pirates. The different ship classes are already in place, and can be worked out differently for different size ships. The basic accounts still loose bigger ships, but would have still a means for something like the first stage captain quarters.

Other than storing goods, got to have a tap for the barrows of rum. I still like the idea of getting drunk and wobbling around as well, if ya drink to much. Making wild swings if in battle etc. Shoot lead shot but fires venom. This is just getting out of the envelope I think though, and consider a new story chapter also first priority. If we want to look back at history, there were a number of drunken pirates that found their end this way.

In ToonTown, and other MMORG games I play, you are provided with a "Home" from the moment you create your character. It cannot be take away from you, or lost back to any open market etc. This should not be any sort of issue if they implement something like a "Captains Quarters" with the same concept.

I agree with the potco wedding comment, but as far as having a home/quarters etc, you wouldnt like a place to change pirate clothes, store items outside your inventory perhaps, etc? Even store your excess gold? Seems alot more functional than a guild room, which would only be useful to guild pirates, and not every pirate in the game. But I understand why some would want want one, just doesnt seem like the right first step, because it would be adding something that only a select few could make use of.

... upkeep price.

> Well once paid for it would be urs and in my eyes i would find Company D greedy
if we had to pay an upkeep price <

... the customized ship project.

> Sure - if they could implement a quarter of some kind we wouldn't need housing.
Well we don't need quarters per se - but why not ? I also like quarters idea. <

... got to have a tap for the barrows of rum.

> ROFL - ME compliment. I play another MMORPG where drunkeness is possible,
and i sure am cautios how i handle any alco.

Sailing ? LOL i would love to see a drunken captain launching and he simply can't
control the sailing.

Cannoneering ? TOTALLY outta control ! I would instantly plank a drunken gunner
That one risk hitting naval ships in privateering - and all of a sudden it's a risky
business.
LOL - how 'bout the gunner sees two blurred ships and don't know which one is
the right one.
Captains orders: "FIRE at the middle one"
"NO more rum for the crew" - Mutiny !
...or when the gunner fires ... *HIC* and the cannon muzzle jumps lol
