skills lvl 20 is max?

Back to the original question... If 20 is the cap on skills, we're really going to have to plan ahead how to allocate the skill points we get. I hope we get more than that when the real game gets out.

Yep, just leveled up cutlass to level 20 and it doesn't add experience skill points after that. That leaves 34 open skill points compared to the 20 that you are capable filling (1 for each level). Not to mention, you open up the last skill at level 20. I can only think and hope that its capped for an unspecific reason and that this is not an intentional game design for the long term. Not to mention, this puts a serious issue when battling high level mobs as well as boarding ships that are a high level.

As far as what else was earlier posted, I think there is little content currently released as this appears we are really testing basic game mechanics more than content. I would hope clothing, loot drops, etc. will be added at a later date. It appears, especially experiencing bugs still at the quest level, that the concentration is still on basic game play. Really, in my opinion, the game is a good 3 months plus off, with constant updates and added content, from being released. Especially, if they plan on charging a monthly fee and not using a pay to play system.

Haha, I was just curious if the skill level cap was going to be 20 that's all.

As far as beating the game or getting to the end, I hardly think hitting level 20 on a skill is even close to beating the game. It's a fairly simple MMO and does have some decent replayability. I still love sailing ships and broadsiding the enemies even capped at sailing.

I just wish they made sailing more of a integral part of the game, not just (Sink 5 Navy ships). Maybe sailing races, or timed quests. Maybe have the ability to get NPC crew, or special cannons from quests temporally.
