Undead British And Dutch

[avatarhands]

I love the idea of a Dutch Island, but only if it's high level. Just putting new names on soldiers and ships seems pointless to me; okay, I've now killed a Dutch guy, whoopee, now what?

Why not create an island that can only be accessed by players who have completed the boss battle? Surround it with uber-ships, fill it with high-level enemies, nasty bosses, and some new quests that take longer than a day to complete. Make it something that we higher level folk could aspire to, something to reward us for working long/hard enough to get where we are.

Remember your first time in the Tormenta cave, or your first time facing a stump alone? I want that feeling back.

The befuddling thing is, something like this wouldn't take much on the part of the coders. The template is there, just need to max everything out and spend a week or so writing new storylines or quests. No new interfaces, other than the restriction to those who have completed the BB, and no new tricks. Just a bit of tweaking of existing enemies and such.

I'm getting ready to do my BB, and am dreading the aftermath: the long slog ahead of finishing off leveling and standing around healing others while they level. I love this game and I love my guildmates, and hate the idea of not playing any more, but...eventually the boredom's gonna kill me.

Weather, new clothes, custom ships, new weapons....all that is fine, but what I really want is SOMETHING TO DO.

I know, I know: it's everyone's complaint, and we're not likely to see it happen in the reasonable future. Just wanted to add my voice to the whining.
