Life in-game was much easier back then... Nobody fought over weapons because there were only 6 weapons and 5 of each type of weapon... It was easy to level because there were fewer levels, so there was not much rep stealing... As far as I know, theres always been name-calling and big fights on Tortuga...  Another problem is Disney its self... They've been deleting servers(at least 25+ by my last count), so it's getting harder and harder to find a quiet server to help someone on. There still are MANY people who are willing to help young players, its just the power-hungry, rep-stealing, and weapon fighting pirates overshadow them...
