Don't think it's a good decision to disband the corsair pirate faction right before 4.87 comes out.
In my belief, it isn't only players' guilt, but also the mod which lovered trader activity in omegas and southern Bretonia.
We should give it another try imo.
First off, we make a roll call and a new Sails skype group.
Hope you don't mind me saying this, seeing as I'm no member of the Sails and posting this in the Sails subforum, but:
Don't let the faction die, I miss the encounters I had back in .85 when I would frequently stumble upon +5 Sails in the Omega's. Things are way too quiet currently, those FP1 brawls and such were sometimes epic.
Overall encounters have dropped too, around Sirius, don't let this go amiss.
Well, the 30 hours was met to keep them from being warned in June so their is definitely a sail or two still flying....I know I saw andre around a few times.
I had my most epic battle ever when I was logged onto my sail. It was at least 7 or 8 of us, with some TBH and Benitez IIRC vs. BAF and Convoy, at least as many if not more.
