i was kinda like dentface, only a few months short of founder...the game has changed much for the better and the worse since the old days. cons- they removed shooting holes through other peoples sails (i remember my ship used to look like a ghost ship when i was done with svs lol), there is more lag now that there are more players, they took away seagulls (like Dent said), and the game was just simpler overall...some pros are that we now have invasions, hundreds of new weapons (as opposed to the few we had back then), new and redesigned islands, higher lvl caps, soon to be ship customization, new types of quests (ravens cove story quest), awesome clothing, and a lot more that i prob cant think of right now lol. no matter what has happened or will happen, this game will always be fun, and even though the caribbean was a bigger place back then, it still is just as good for different reasons.
