I have a question for you 
Is housing being emphasised on? I do know it wont be there at release, but do they have sort of "Confirmed" plans to have player owned houses short of the release?
P.S. WE LOVE YOU RICKSAADA. 
You're cooler than that dancing banana.

No confirmed plans for anything player housing wise. I'd love to see it there in some form, if only being able to decorate the cabin of your ship and invite other players for socialization. We've also talked about getting control of the Governor's Mansion as port of our eventual player controlled Port Governance expansion, and I'd expect that will include some amount of decorating as well (hand wave, hand wave). But we haven't gotten past the "that'd be cool" to any kind of nuts and bolts design yet.

Dang. Trumped by our lead designer. OK Isildur, I bow down to your omniscience of all things design. How's that port governance spec coming?

It is refereshing to see that not only are you guys active in the forums and are trying your best to actually listen to the people that will be playing your game, but a sense of humor to boot??
I had all but given up on MMO's but I have always kept an eye on this particular one because, well, Im a pirate at heart, (my company logo is my version of the Jolly Roger).
well, here's hoping that potbs lives up to expectations.
I have to say I agree with the above post. Developer interaction with their community is something the industry seems to get wrong, time after time. With either zero feedback from devs or long awaited responses that are so obviously filtered through marketing QA, it often sours their relationships with their userbase.
Not only is it great to see FLS mixing in on various boards, but without the now expected "spin" too. You genuinely feel these guys are enjoying making their game and, hopefully have a good idea what their intended userbase expect.
Not only does this feel like it bodes well for R1, but also for the ongoing developement after. Which for me at least is a major part in my decision before committing to any PayToPlay MMORPG.

To even the playing fields, I've armed Rick with a special title to match isildur's. Take him down, Rick!

Shouldn't they have titles like "captain" and "admiral" or something? "Designer" sounds so mundane.

Funny you should mention that...I considered making him "Scurvy Lad"!

"Scurvy Lad"--brilliant! Though, at 43, I think he qualifies more as the heroic-sounding "Scurvy Man"!
